That’s a dubious extension of the idea of the Columbia Gorge, for a forest
bird. You’d think it would follow the “riparian” up one of the rivers.
Arlington is far out into the sage and wheat belt.
Weird to think of a Hutton’s flying across both the Deschutes and John Day
river mouths. Yet Bewick’s Wrens may have. Next we’ll have a Wrentit at Rufus.

In the Columbia Gorge. At times a depauperate riparian zone , but riparian
none the less.

Not sure how far east they get in Klamath. I think only on the east slope of
the Cascades. Perhaps Kevin could bring us current on that.
There are multiple reports from Malheur but I don’t think there is a good
photo. There may be one poor photo from maybe the late 1990s - anyone
remember that?
As far as I know, yours is the first solid record east of the forested
Cascades. Pretty amazing to have one far out on the wheat-plains.
Can someone enlighten us as to any records in e. Washington?

During a brief stop in Arlington today, while birding the park across from
the gas station, I was shocked to hear the whinny call of a Hutton's Vireo
coming from a small pine tree. My mom and I were able to track it down and
get photos. As best I can tell, this is a first record for Eastern Oregon.
