Relative Detectability: Easy to spot and fairly easy to confirm nesting.

Challenge: Determine if this species breeds more widely than shown within the northern Siskiyou Mountains, the southern Cascades, and the Columbia Basin (Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam Counties). Also refine knowledge of its breeding distribution within eastern Klamath, western Deschutes, and northern Harney Counties.
