These are Tetramorium, and they're having their large flights in eastern Oregon and Washington right now as well. There was a massive flight where I was at near Hermiston, OR yesterday morning. The best time to find them is in the morning right after the flight or that evening when they're wandering around looking for a good spot to dig.
