Cool, the only other sighting I have heard of in the Coast Range this time of
year.
Nice find Darrel!

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,
