Richardson 1937 46. Red-shafted Flicker (Colaptes cafer collaris) June 2, 1937 - Barley Camp Warner Mts. Oregon - A flicker was heard digging inside a yellow pine stump. It stuck its head out of the hole in response to imitation flicker cries - but on seeing me it would not come from the hole but disappeared into it and remained inside, not digging further, for 10 minutes or so I tried to entice it out. - This seems to show a use of the hole for protection, though several days ago a flicker I once flew from its hole when approached. However, it had been able to watch my approach and leave when I was not very close. This bird, or its mate, of June 2, was collected. It seems to be a typical ? Red-shafted but curiously has one of the central pair of rectrices colored yellow. This feather seems as worn as the others yet it may have grown in at a different time (not during usual molt). An affinity or correlation with feather pigmentation of the Yellow-shafted Flicker, seems probable, if the two yellows (of all colors) match.
