Interesting topic as we see R-B Sapsuckers in our area with regularity, I had
not recognized this as perhaps unusual.
Our neighborhood is along the Willamette between Oregon City and Milwaukie. One
or two pair are known to nest nearby.

Subject: [obol] Red-breasted Sapsuckers on valley floor
Hi all,
Noticed Lars Norgren's speculation that Red-breasted Sapsuckers nesting
in riparian areas of the Willamette Valley floor. Indeed they do.
I've attached a couple of blurry photos which may or may not come
through via OBOL, showing pre- and post-copulatory views of a pair at
the north trailhead of Luckiamute State Natural Area a few years back.
Shot with a Nikon Coolpix with an ill-behaving autofocus, don't expect
too much ...
