I will be leading a field trip for visually impaired participants at 8am on Saturday 10 June at Hyatt Wetlands in Boise. This not an invitation for sighted people to learn birding by ear, but if you’d like to help guide participants and see how it’s done, you’re welcome to attend. We’ll meet at the parking lot on Maple Grove. Hope to see you there.

The White-winged Scoter Austin Young found last weekend is still present
this afternoon. It was right in front of the dam, within 5 feet of the
base of the dam. Great looks even with binocs. The white secondaries
were even visible. This bird was reported as a Surf Scoter by someone in
eBird but I’m sure it’s the same bird. I’ll try to get a better look at
the bill tomorrow if it’s still there.

Thanks again to Austin for bringing it to our attention.
