    On December 20, 1993, I found a female Williiamson’s in heavy timber on a 
high ridge east of Waldport, Lincoln County.

Bruce and Diane Follansbee report a female WILLIAMSON'S SAPSUCKER on the edge 
of a young clearcut across from their place in interior Coos County.  This is 
east of Coquille several miles.  Diane said they saw it on Sunday the 17th at 
10AM.  They looked for it again this weekend but could not refind it.  She 
described it real well and has seen the species this summer over in the K-Falls 
area.  I think there is one ancient record for Coos previously.  Are there any 
records from other coastal counties in Oregon?  I am wondering if this species 
has been found much anywhere in W. Oregon during November (away from the 
Cascades)? Birds of Oregon calls it a casual vagrant west of the Cascades, but 
I am thinking it is way rare west of the Coast Range- anyone know of recent 
records? Seems like YB Sapsucker is more common. They did consider that species 
also, but said the belly was way to yellow amongst some other observations.




A stunning find,
