Moved from Urocerus.

Siricidae
Male. Cannot tell from picture if it is a Urocerus or Xeris.

 
frass?

Yes.
Yes to both. Lucky you, I've only seen a couple of these in the 27 years I spent in Oregon (ok, I guess you have to deduct birth to about age 7:-)

 
Thanks Eric
I was thinking ichneumon at first. I'm glad it's a horntail.
