They're really beautiful, and they fit right in with my found-feather collection, which has a lot of magpie feathers in it at the moment (found feathers as opposed to feathers from hunted birds).Holly Heyserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134909592916671876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-16385766163814255182011-06-20T10:19:06.373-07:002011-06-20T10:19:06.373-07:00Flicker feathers - orange-shafted variety of the N...Flicker feathers - orange-shafted variety of the Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus).<br /><br />They hold special significance for some tribes.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409883521642115031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-10676181678344225082011-06-20T08:54:40.200-07:002011-06-20T08:54:40.200-07:00Gretchen: Back down here in the valley, it was act...Gretchen: Back down here in the valley, it was actually pretty warm - summer has finally arrived here.<br /><br />Blessed: It is an infinitely fun in vestment.

The bird was actually pretty well-hidden - I only saw it because I was looking for mushrooms. And I have seen fledglings like that survive a day or two without the ability to fly.

Unless she is injured, she appears to be fully feathered, a great sign. She's probably just this side of fledgling stage, where it's normal for them to be on the ground. It's amazing to me that baby birds survive at all. But, the parents are nearby, which means they are looking after Ingridhttp://www.thefreequark.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-90658036603602465782011-06-19T13:13:53.590-07:002011-06-19T13:13:53.590-07:00Got an answer on the feathers: Red-shafted flicker...Got an answer on the feathers: Red-shafted flicker!
