Tweeters,
I'm sorry I haven't been monitoring the digest very diligently, but could
someone give me a brief timeline on the Acorn Woodpecker in Spokane Co.? In
particular, how long was it seen after the first report?
Thanks,
Steve Shunk

> Spokane County's first ever ACORN WOODPECKER was seen Friday afternoon Sept
> 8, 2006 about 5 miles NE of Cheney on Chalet Drive (off Andrus Rd). It was

> white belly, white primary bases, and red on head. They noted the white in
> the eyes. The bird flew off to the SE. Picture available on request.

> On visiting their place, I noted a major feeding station. Their place is on

> Spokane County's Year List is now 230!
> Congratulations Maggie and Fritz on one of the best finds of the year!
