Havillah is something of a ghost town ne of Tonasket in ne Okanogan County.
About 1/2 mile west of "town" is a forest service road (FSR 3230) heading
south from the Tonasket-Havillah Road. This first crosses a pasture, then a
patch of forest, a second pasture (all posted private land), then enters
forest again, angles left and up a slight hill to a junction. Keep right at
the junction to a parking area. The Williamson's Sapsucker nest was just
above where the road bends left after entering the second forested area. You
could hear the young from the road. They appeared about ready to fledge,
however. Black-backed Woodpeckers have been seen here but we didn't notice
any last weekend, just Pileated and I don't recall what else. No Great Gray
either, except perhaps a single distant set of hoots that could have been
wishful thinking. I've been there ten times and never seen the Great Grays,
though Great Horned, Barred, and Saw-whets seem quite regular. There are
Bobolinks in the wet meadows just nw of Tonasket.
