Now, if we could get one of those wandering Acorn Woodpeckers to pass thru the yard.....we'd be really freaking happy!!
PS - I have been a little surprised we have not seen more southwestern species wandering around Oregon this summer and fall....considering the drought conditions in California. I have to wonder if some of the Acorn Woodpecker movement is related to drought and fire......how about Painted Buntings, Lawrence's Goldfinches, Phainopeplas, etc etc etc......?????

I'm fascinated. The nearest reliable Scrub Jays to Dave and Kathy's yard are at Norway I would imagine, several miles upstream from Coquille. When I was doing the Coquille Valley CBC with Romain Cooper and Christy Dunn about three years ago the last species of the day, and best bird of the day for us, was Scrub Jay at Cedar Point, at least five miles north of Norway. I've had eight Scrub Jay detections at my house in the Coast Range nw of Banks (Washington Co) over 21 years and seven of those were in September.

This may seem ho-hum to most, but Scrub Jays are amazingly scarce on the coastal plain in Coos Cty. For us, this is only the second time in about 13+ years of living here that we had a Scrub Jay in the yard. Kathy watched the bird move off to the south.
