Yellow-bellied Sapsucker / YES

Finally got to see the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Just took a ride out after Sabrina got off work. It was beautiful out and the last day of sun for a week or so.

Couldn't see it at first then found it in the trees right where he had been reported. It was hard to get a good picture because of all the leaves and other branches. It was a great lifer.





On the way out we checked out a report of Swainson's Hawks out in the Hillsboro area. Stopped for a couple minutes and took photos. I saw 2 but someone questioned how many I saw. Doesn't matter to me. Dave Irons confirmed it was a  Swainson's Hawk ( juvenile plumage) so I feel good. Two Lifers in one day. It's all good.
