Good Morning Tweeters,

On 1 May, I had a male Red-naped Sapsucker in my yard north of Wapato in
Yakima County. Although a fairly common summer resident of riparian habitats
in the Cascades and northeastern WA, this was my first record from away from
the mountains in Yakima County since I moved here in 1978.

Can other Columbia Basin birders relate their records from Columbia Basin
sites - especially those away from the mountains. I would be interested in
the date and location of such sightings.

Thanks!
