Bob Fields reports an ACORN WOODPECKER in his Coos Bay backyard on Friday. I do not know if this species has ever been seen this close to the coast before in Coos County? There have only been 5 other records since 1990- all of which have been in the SW corner of the county near Powers/Mt. Bolivar. Lots of BARN SWALLOWS staging on the north spit of Coos Bay lately, had about 500 two days ago. Most other swallow species appear to have vacated the premises- time for the big Yamhill Co.Barn Swallow congregation? Merry migration! Tim R Coos Bay
