Starting to be regulars here in Hailey as well. I noticed a few years ago when I did a bird seed study that the Lazuli Buntings really prefer White Millet. I run straight Black Oil Sunflower all year except in the spring when I put out a tube feeder with White Millet for the Lazulis. They are annual visitors now. Love seeing the bright blue in the yard.

Maybe this is the year for Lazuli Buntings to surprise us all. Yesterday’s
first ever appearance in my yard was a visual treat.

I had just gotten out of the shower after my bike ride when Susan called out
“Lazuli Bunting!” I ran to the window and there was a bright male on the
shepherd’s crook of the feeders. Two seconds later he was gone.

Not only was he my first of year, he was the first I’ve seen in our back
yard in years. Of course, they may just be showing up when we’re both gone.

There is an alternate plumage Stilt Sandpiper feeding with some Long-billed Dowitchers south of the inspection of 800 N and 2700 E in Jefferson county West of Roberts.
