I echo Wayne's puzzlement over the exclusion of Woodhouse's Scrub-jay.
Gabrielson and Jewett published the then sub-species in Birds of Oregon(1940?).
I believe the collections were made as much as 25 years earlier near Andrews (
which still had an active post office in 1965). I trust no molecular work has
been done on them. The Yellow-billed Magpie surprises me for how far down the
list folks have left it. There are solid detections in the California county
immediately south of Ashland. California Thrasher and Phainopepla have both
made it north of the line, Black-chinned Sparrow has bred in our state. When
Gabrielson & Jewett was published, almost mid 20th Century, Black Phoebe had
yet to make the Oregon species list. Lars POST: Send your post to
