    Looks yellow-shafted to me, based on undertails. Red-shafted are western.

    You mean Yellow-shafted, no? Great find on the Townsend’s Warbler!!!

    Ack, yes, that was a typo. I had specifically looked up the Flicker in the Peterson guide to check which one it was… and then I wrote down the wrong name. Thank you!
