A rare bird reported near Medford two days earlier, I saw it 4/10/19. Photo shows two key field marks: large decurved bill, and buffy underparts that are darker on the chest.
This is the 6th Oregon Record, but apparently the homeowner reports that it is the 5th year that it has appeared in their yard, at 855 Holton Rd., in Talent, OR. I arrived at 4:30pm and it was singing from on top of the tallest tree, nearest the homeowner's mailbox.
Oregon lifer #411.
