well I certainly get your point. and although I neglected to mention it
specifically. I was actually referring to Winter sightings not so much as
to the breeding season. is it known where streaked horned larks winter? as
I mentioned a month or twp ago a Seattle researcher was requesting
sightings of his banded horn Larks in either Washington or the Willamette
Valleh.

This sounds like a totally reasonable solution.
At the same time in your discussions with eBird perhaps you could bring

interest from Oregon birders, detailed observations have been documented
with photographs that could be reviewed by the eBird reviewers for
veracity. Such observations could be important for the recovery of this
threatened subspecies, and might well contribute to even more
