Birds of a Feather Talk Together
50: Northern Flicker - Hybridization, CTE From Banging Head?
This week we are talking about the Northern Flicker. We talk about the red-shafted and yellow-shafted flickers in different parts of the continent, and how they can hybridize. We also talk about whether or not woodpeckers get CTE from banging their heads while pecking. We answer a mailbag question on the white throated sparrow changing its call. Join John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Marquart discussing the Northern Flicker!
Please send us your questions for us to answer as well! You can send them to podcast.birdsofafeather@gmail.com
