<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
I -often- have questions that are not being answered by my useual sources<br>
(eBird, Cornell, Audubon, field guides, etc.). As just one example how do I<br>
answer the question - at what age/in what season do Flickers change from<br>
juvenile patterns to adult?<br>
<br>
When I go to any of the above usually they only have the highest level<br>
of info (a few pictures, range maps, and recent/historical sightings).<br>
I guess I'm finding my way into the areas of ornithological info ... ?<br>
I have posted questions to this group - maybe once or twice a quarter -<br>
that are along these lines and haven't gotten what I consider "the<br>
answers I was looking for" ... don't get me wrong, I value this<br>
community highly - just for different purposes.<br>
<br>
Since we live in Skagit County most of my "deeper questions" are about<br>
the birds that show up here ... in all seasons.<br>
- Jim<br>
<br>
P.S. I had a first ever sighting event this morning. Early on, before<br>
they flew off to where ever they went to today, there was a group of<br>
swans (probably all Trumpeters) that had obviously spent the night on a<br>
bend of the Skagit River! We look down on that large S-curve in the<br>
Skagit that is East of the Gardner Road Launch Ramp and there they were<br>
in a 'line' on the slow side of the sand bar. Water does flow thru<br>
that area but it is not the primary path for the flow - that's on the<br>
other side of the same bar (just East of where I saw them). I'm seeing<br>
about 4 or 5 birds "just lifting off and moving" from that location<br>
right now. Sorry, too far away for a picture.<br>
