I have seen NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD in multiple counties in Oregon, but until I
moved to Jackson County, I did not realize that they breed in Oregon. As I
understand it, there used to be a reliable site in Klamath for several years,
but that pair has disappeared. Jackson County is the most reliable spot in
Oregon to see a Northern Mockingbird.
If you are in the area and would like to try your luck, consider the following
locations: Kirtland Sewage Ponds, Denman NWA and Whetstone Savannah Nature
Conservancy Reserve. Directions and information about each birding location
can be found on the ECAS website.

Also, we have breeding GREAT-TAILED GRACKLES, but they are most consistent on
private land. This year, however, there appears to be a pair nesting at the
Ave G pond of Denman NMA.
Good birding,Russ NamitzMedford
