271 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 271 days away.

Today's Picture:

Taken on April 27, 2013

The Red-shafted Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus cafer) is our most commonly seen woodpecker. You have a reasonable chance to see them anywhere that we have trees. That means that you can find them along the Grandview Trail, down the hill on the North side of the park, looking across the street from the East Slope Trail, and in the Canyon. This male was seen near the Environmental Services Building. You can tell the male apart from the female by the red mustache mark.
