Ken and Tom reported an Acorn WP at Skamakawa Vista Park last weekend. Wahkiakum County.
Which I was also able to see after they tipped me off.

Jan and Tweeters,
According to my records, yours would be the northernmost Acorn Woodpecker for Washington. The northernmost I have (up to at least 2007) were two records for the fall of 2006, in Jefferson and Spokane counties.?

As you probably know, most WA records are from?Klickitat and?Yakima counties, with records also from Clark and Gray's Harbor counties. There are also 2 records for BC: 1996 in Maple Ridge (spitting distance from Blaine, WA), and?in 2003 in Oliver (Okanagan Valley).

I am not caught up on the last few years and would appreciate anyone filling in those gaps for me on more recent records.?
Thanks!Steve Shunk

We were at our cabin on Guemes Island (just North of Anacortes) last week
and had a female Acorn Woodpecker at our sunflower seed feeder one day. She
came ?several times, but only that one day. Of course it didn't help that my

husband ?was nailing shingles on a shed roof right near the feeder.
Attached are a ?couple of poor quality photos. Love that white eye!! We're going
up to the ?island again next week so I will be watching for her then. Does

anyone know if ?they have been seen in that area recently, or ever?
