[Tweeters] The Next Level Info?

[Tucker, Trileigh]

And if you join the Sno-Isle library system (don’t have to live there to do so), Birds of the World is available for free—though without the many other benefits offered by WOS.

Good birding to all,
Trileigh

Hi Jim

I wholeheartedly recommend getting a subscription to "Birds of the World" ($49/year):
https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/subscribe

To your case: for Northern Flicker it has a very detailed article on "Plumages, Molts, and Structure".

Hi,

   I -often- have questions that are not being answered by my useual sources
(eBird, Cornell, Audubon, field guides, etc.).  As just one example how do I
answer the question - at what age/in what season do Flickers change from
juvenile patterns to adult?

   When I go to any of the above usually they only have the highest level
of info (a few pictures, range maps, and recent/historical sightings).
I guess I'm finding my way into the areas of ornithological info ... ?
   I have posted questions to this group - maybe once or twice a quarter -
that are along these lines and haven't gotten what I consider "the
answers I was looking for" ... don't get me wrong, I value this
community highly - just for different purposes.

   Since we live in Skagit County most of my "deeper questions" are about
the birds that show up here ... in all seasons.

P.S. I had a first ever sighting event this morning.  Early on, before
they flew off to where ever they went to today, there was a group of
swans (probably all Trumpeters) that had obviously spent the night on a
bend of the Skagit River!  We look down on that large S-curve in the
Skagit that is East of the Gardner Road Launch Ramp and there they were
in a 'line' on the slow side of the sand bar.  Water does flow thru
that area but it is not the primary path for the flow - that's on the
other side of the same bar (just East of where I saw them).  I'm seeing
about 4 or 5 birds "just lifting off and moving" from that location
right now.   Sorry, too far away for a picture.
