Hello everyone,

this morning my girlfriend and I heard the Bewick’s Wren singing south of Hailey and we also heard a bird that sounded good for Alder Flycatcher. I was able to get decent recordings of the song, but I have no experience with this species and I will be posting to Facebook later today when I can, to get some discussion going.

It was singing across the river barely upstream from the last big Cottonwood at the bewicks wren spot: 43.2243, -114.3547

There is better access to the bird across the river from the wren spot.

was able to get decent recordings of the song, but I have no experience

This might not be a good year for mudflats at the reservoir. According to water managers they passed the peak water period on July 12 with a full water system. ☹️. The managers think they will still be at 60% of capacity by the end of the farming season

Good for farmers, not so good for shorebirds

We’ve had 1 Calliope male, 2 Black-chinned males, 2 rufous males this week so far since Sunday. Quite a few females and young hummers.

Rufous were very territorial – one full male colors, second was less fully colored.

Also quite a few females. I’m not sure if any females are nesting again but the black-chinned and rufous males were doing some dives/shutter movement in addition to being territorial about the feeders and flowers.

May have time to watch more closely tomorrow.

At this point, I saw a male Black-chinned that came in on Tues and both a female Black-chinned & female Rufous, are coming to the feeder on a daily basis. I haven’t seen any male or juvenile Rufous in some days now. Also, appears the juvenile Black-chinned has moved on, unless I get a new hatchling.

Of note, is the female Rufous is a more consistent visitor than the Black-chinned, and her infrequent feeder visits & straight-as-an-arrow flight to the willows, make me believe that she’s nesting. I really have no way to know if this is the same bird that gave all original indications of nesting or a different bird, but cool nonetheless.

With the return of a RB Nuthatch to the neighborhood, and the continued
expansion of the EC Doves, I was able to start my ride today with 9 birds.
The neighborhood Swainson’s juvenile hasn’t left the nest yet, so that was
#10. At Esther Simplot I found the usual suspects, minus the W. Grebes, but
that was compensated for by a flyover of a GB Heron(#21). Just before I
entered Ann Morrison, I found a family of A. Kestrels for #30. A loop of the
park produced 6 more birds, and I headed downriver towards Remington St., on
the Garden City side. Near the railroad trestle I found a Cedar Waxwing
(#37), and an Osprey (#38)was noisily complaining just west of Veteran’s
Parkway. As I turned onto Remington, I heard and then saw one of the local
W. Kingbirds (#39), and while I was looking at him, I realized there was a
Red-tail Hawk (#40)high in the sky beyond him. I almost quit at that point,
but some chattering in the Russian Olives halfway down Remington produced a
juvenile Bullock’s Oriole (#41). Final birds were Bank Swallows (#42) all
along Remington and NRW Swallows (#43)back at Esther Simplot. Not bad for a
15 mile cruise.

My numbers have been hovering right around 40 birds for the last week or so
(since the river went down enough to bike to Remington St.), but I continue
to be amazed at the diversity and numbers in light of the high temps and the
fact that it’s mid-July.

On another note, I do burn gas to cruise Lucky Peak in our boat. (I just
don’t add the birds to my day list.) Last night was a real treat with a Bald
Eagle, 2 Osprey, 2 Red-tails, 2 GB Herons and numerous other birds that I
don’t find in the valley. Plus it is quite peaceful up the Mores Creek arm
in the no-wake zone.
