I haven't checked my records, which involves a lot of winnowing through
field cards, but I offer the following logic:

(1) All the Loggerhead Shrikes I've seen in Washington have been on their
breeding grounds, except for a few at Lower Crab Creek and Toppenish and
one in Douglas Co. seen during winter, and one at Montlake Fill in spring.

(2) According to my county records, I've seen one or more Loggerhead
Shrikes in Klickitat Co.

(3) I conclude that I have seen the species on breeding grounds in
Klickitat Co. some time in the past 20 years.

I'll see if I can locate any more details.
