Don't know any places around Pdx but they r sure thick in eastern OR near wa border. They r almost tame over there. I think it must be due to where they were planted. Don't know if was ODFW or WDFW who planted them but they sure took hold.
Not planted, Eurasian Collared-Doves are native to southern Asia. They were introduced in the Bahamas in the 1970s (escaped from the pet trade), and subsequently spread to south Florida. From Florida they moved across all of North America. A very successful invader. Checking back I have the first one recorded at my feeder north of Coos Bay in 2010.
