Observation details

This species is rare in Umatilla County. A few migrate through in late April - May and again in late August - September. Probably annual, but not reported each year. Some may breed in open pine forest habitats, but no recent breeding records. This species does not breed at McKay Creek NWR. Watched this bird for a few minutes as it foraged along the edge of the road and riparian area. Several diagnostic photos are attached, and the bird was seen doing the classic tail-dropping behavior.
