[obol] Nuttall's Woodpeckers in W. Oregon?

[Brandon Green]

OBOL,

Earlier this morning, I saw a woodpecker up about 30 feet in a pine tree in my yard.  It appeared to be a little larger than a Downy with similar markings, but the breast/stomach area was spotted and the white was a duller shade.  The occipital patch also appeared to be a bit larger than that of a Downy.  I didn't get a good look at the beak because it was partially-obscured by the tree branches and I only got to see it for 20-30 sec.

It looks like it may have been a Nuttall's WP, but my understanding is that the northern ege of their range is Northern CA.  Have there been any sightings of Nuttall's Woodpeckers in Western Oregon?


Thanks,
Brandon
Eugene
