I know that there are not very many bird photographers here, but Dawson creek corporate park is an excellent place to go, there are numerous ponds with lots of waterfowl and herons, but the biggest draw would be the acorn woodpeckers. There must be 50 or more using the wetland area with all the dead tree's. The pic is not great but it will give you an idea. Oh yea the park is located in hillsboro.

Thanks for the info Wade, I would love to add a few Acorn woodpecker photos to my collection.
Mmmm, wish I lived closer to the area. Sounds great! Go for it, Craig!

Pretty cool, Wade. Where is Dawson Creek Corporate Park? I know it's somewhere in Hillsboro...

Thanks, Wade. Same question ad David. Do you know if they're using the native Garry Oaks?

David and dennis, the park is off shute road right beside the hillsboro library, dennis they are using what the oregonian says are live oaks? sorry not much help. Maybe after the holidays wind down we can do a short trip over there.
