Just to add some elevations here, from playing around with Google-Earth: The locations where I'm used to finding Hermit Thrush in interior Douglas County are around 140O ft and up. I think Barb's locations from last night were around 900 ft, maximum, with some detections a little lower. The one that I heard ENE of Sutherlin today was closer to 700 ft. Maybe Matt Hunter or Ron Maertz can add more based on their experience in those parts.
