Susan, we’re jealous of your list, esp those grosbeaks!
Missy and I saw “waves” of robins passing by a couple days ago at Eagle Island SP west of Boise……. most concentrated in areas of Russian Olives

Subject: [IBLE] Warning: ABA Scam email

Hi all,

I’ve reached out to ABA about this, but wanted to share the info about this scam ASAP, and also see if anyone else got this email?

I received an email pretending to be the ABA, asking for money for one of their staff members: a GoFundMe page for a sick baby named Arick. Unfortunately the links provided seem to lead to an anonymous PayPal account, and the photo of the baby used is swiped from a news story in Texas.

Normally scam emails are easy to spot. This one was not caught by my spam filters, and was actually fairly convincing and well written, using official GoFundMe and ABA logos.

Did anyone else get this email?

Thanks for checking into this Heidi! I also received this and mostly
ignored it (although it did seem odd that the ABA would be sending
something like this out). I will forward the email to the ABA. It looks
like they haven’t posted anything on their FB page yet.

I got one of these, but I deleted it along with the 20 or so that were more obviously scams. I agree that it was well done, but I was suspicious that the ABA would go the GoFundMe route for a staffer’s child.

Hi All,There happened to be a juvenile Band-tailed Pigeon that landed in my backyard at about 5 PM today in Nampa. The bird landed on the porch railing, but unfortunately took off before I could take a few good pictures. I managed to find it sitting on my roof, and and took a few photos with my phone. Sorry about the poor image quality. With the fog and it getting darker outside, the pictures didn’t turn out as clear.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!Kristin Araki
