Birds - Red-shafted Flicker
Colaptes auratus ssp cafer
Red-shafted Flickers are the only woodpecker-type bird that also grazes on the ground. One day I found a female hunting something under and around one of the park's boardwalks. I was able to get up pretty close without scaring the bird away, so there must have been some interesting grub there!

It was unusal to see four or five of the flickers out in plain sight.
