Yesterday, found a group of over 700 Bohemian Waxwings along the aspen trees near the Sun Valley Music Pavilion. Also, a Peregrine Falcon south of Hailey.
Back home today and best birds were a group of 15, quite vocal, Trumpeter Swans in a fly-over. Also, 3 Red-tailed Hawks, one Harlan’s & a Rough-legged Hawk.

It took 2 hours and lots of walking, but I eventually relocated the
continuing PALM WARBLER at Mann Lake, east of Lewiston on Saturday
morning. It was on the outer edge of the willows and other dense
vegetation that rings the lake a couple hundred meters beyond the end of
the model airplane area (traveling clockwise around the lake), near and
beyond the row of Junipers. It was not very cooperative during this
encounter, but it called many times from the thicket and allowed me a
glimpse as it flew away. Full list, details, and exact coordinates of
where it was seen are on eBird:

The Palm Warbler has been present at this location since I found it on
Thanksgiving day (at least). Other uncommon birds included a continuing
American Tree Sparrow and a small flock of Common Redpolls in one of the
Birch groves.
Good Birding,
