I have found Dusky once or twice in the Lane Coast Range, but not often. Tom
Mickel has probably covered that area the most.

I birded around the towers on Mt Hebo (45.213581, -123.755212) yesterday and
found a WESTERN KINGBIRD and 2 DUSKY FLYCATCHERS (singing from here
45.215337, -123.758607). Dusky Flycatcher is a very uncommon breeder in the
higher elevations of the coast range. I am uncertain if that
status/distribution is similar throughout the state. My feeling is that they
are more common in the southern counties (Curry, Coos, Douglas) in the coast
range. Any thoughts?
Good birding,
