Oregon · MigratoryMourning dove

Mourning dove in Oregon is broadly statewide, but ODFW's own range description names two genuine sub-state exceptions rather than describing the species as uniformly present everywhere: the species is "abundant in spring, summer, and early fall statewide in open landscapes, except along the coast and in the higher elevations of the east Cascades." This is presented as a real, sourced geographic pattern (broad presence with two named exclusion zones) rather than either a uniform-statewide claim or a subdivided hotspot map. Oregon's dove hunting season itself is split into two regulatory zones (Zone 1: western and northern counties; Zone 2: central, southern, and eastern Oregon, encompassing the high-desert country east of Highways 395 and 78) with staggered season dates to manage overlap with waterfowl migration — noted here as regulatory context only, since ODFW's own sourcing does not frame the zone boundary itself as a density map.
