Yes, I know, It's not a very good image, but it's the only one I have at present.
It appears not to be in good focus, that's because I photographed it using an,
850 mm lens with a 2X and a 1.4X tele converter equaling 2380 mm.
When I scanned the photo I only used the center 25% of the image.
I would guess that this is equal to another 3 times magnification
making the total image equal to a 7140 mm lens magnification.
But don't quote me on that.
***************************************************
Just in case you can not tell that this is a Yellow Shafted Northern Flicker,
here is another photo pointing out the marks that make it a Yellow Shafted.
Number 1 arrow is pointing to the RED patch on its nape.
Numbr 2 arrow is pointing to the BLACK line off the base of its bill.
