Michael,

No, they haven't, and that was a most atypical nesting site. They are
generally partial to old growth conifers. I know of no place one can count
on seeing them. If you put in enough hours looking in north central and
northeastern Washington in winter, especially in tall riparian woodland, you
might get lucky. Their known nesting sites are often kept quiet by the
Wildlife Department as they are, somewhat like Spotted Owls, considered in
trouble and something of an oldgrowth indicator species. For a general idea
as to where they are known to nest, check the recently published Washington
State Breeding Bird Atlas.
