[obol] Acorn Woopecker: easiest Willamette Valley sites?

[Donald A Boucher]

Hello,

I am compiling easy-to-access and find sites for Acorn Woodpeckers in the
Willamette Valley, from Eugene to Portland. I have Corvallis covered. I
am writing an article for the Neighborhood Naturalist newsletter fall
issue, due out in September.

Please share your favorite sites that are easy for somebody unfamiliar
with your area to find and that has public access. For example, I suggest
the Benton County Fairgrounds and the adjacent oak grove east of 53rd.
Most anybody can find it and it's hard not to see a woodpecker there.

Thanks in advance. Sites will be published in the newsletter and
eventually on the web site below.
