Thank you Martyn, Kevin, and Wil.
Black-throated Sparrow is likely correct. My recording location is actually=
specifically cited in one reference as one of the two locations most likel=
y to find this bird in Oregon. The song does also have similarities to the =
Lincoln Sparrow, and there were probably some singing not too far away, but=
from what I reading, the immediate habitat against a dry, rocky, sageland =
slope seems better suited for the black-throated.
