Relative Detectability: Easy to detect by its song, but otherwise difficult to identify and to confirm nesting.

Challenge: Confirm breeding of individuals noted at scattered desert locations during June. Search for additional nests in southern Jackson, southern Klamath, central Deschutes, southern Baker, central Union, and eastern Wallowa Counties.
