Y – nice sightings!
wish we could say “ditto” on Swainson’s, but we can’t……..yet

Missy and I *were* surprised by all the RL hawks on our drive to Swan Falls Wednesday, and I doubt we counted/entered them all in eBird

Subject: [IBLE] FOS Swainson’s Hawk

On Cloverdale Road today, April 6, between Meridian and Kuna, I saw my FOS Swainson’s hawk!

Also had three rough-legged hawks out in the Snake River Birds of Prey Conservation area.

Good birding!

Brian, I saw 2 tundra swans just east of Cascade, Valley County, on a frozen pond on Sun 3/31.
Happy trails, Rich Nampa

Last night about 10 PM heard my first-of-season migrating groups of Tundra Swans flying overhead. Enjoy hearing their flight calls.

My most common feeder bird is American Goldfinch. And, alas, haven’t seen nor heard the Blue Jay since Wed. It may have used the brief break in weather to head back East. I’ll keep an eye out but usually the jay is the first morning feeder visitor.
