First sapsucker of the year! And a lifer, Greater SCAUP! #WildForWoodpeckers #birding #oregon #liferBird

Every woodpecker is the sweetest and the best*, but Lewis's give me a particular thrill!

*Includes sapsuckers. Flickers don't need my approval and don't have it.

BTW, in my unrealistic heart of hearts I WAS hoping for a pileated sighting today, but I assumed #MerlinApp would have jinxed it for me.

Gotta make a motivational poster out of this red-shafted Northern Flicker eating from the squirrel-proof feeder.

BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS!

We went twice this week to burned locales where the three-toed and black-backed woodpeckers have been seen recently, but while we heard the black-backed, we saw neither.

But today, just visiting a favorite spot, I got to see one of the other species left on the list! Birding doesn’t respond to determination: you just have to keep your eyes wide and love the birds you see!
