Cornell has an extensive series of several hundred intergrade or hybrid
flickers from studies done in the Great Plains during the 1950s. Not one of
them has different-colored feathers on its body. The color they have varies
from yellow to orange to red, but it is consistent across all the
Interesting. I have been out of touch with what salvage has come in to the
museum for the last 9 years. I wonder if a gap would be noticeable there.
