Pipits and a yellow shafted flicker, Boulder County

[Elena Holly Klaver]

On a walk to Boulder Creek on the White Rocks trail, there were two flickers just south of the creek, one with clear yellow under its wings and tail. The other had red; neither had malar stripes nor color at the nape of the neck, leading me to think they were female, but I am not sure. The five American pipits were along Boulder Creek by the bridge on the trail, feeding along the creek and in some plants on the bank. Two adult bald eagles, the resident pair, were along the creek, and on Teller Lake there was a good variety of ducks. There were more ducks, including some canvasbacks, bufflehead, and pintail, on Lagerman Reservoir earlier today.
