Oregon · UplandBand-tailed pigeon

Oregon's band-tailed pigeon season runs September 15-23, 2026, statewide, daily bag 2/possession 6, requiring HIP validation plus a separate Oregon band-tailed pigeon permit. Oregon is part of the Pacific Coast population, monitored by the cooperative Mineral Site Survey, and that survey's 23-year trend for Oregon specifically is up 1.5% per year, a real positive signal by the federal report's own statistical rule. That's in line with the Pacific Coast population as a whole (up 1.7% per year) and a bit behind Washington's stronger 2.8% per year. A separate federal survey (Breeding Bird Survey) shows no clear trend for Oregon either way over the same period, but the Mineral Site Survey is the better-suited instrument for this population.

A real, statistically significant upward trend on the Mineral Site Survey (Oregon's own 23-year read, not just the regional average), the more sensitive of the two federal survey instruments for this population.
