Since I’ve never seen a single Puma in 59 years, seeing 2 in one day is very startling! It actually has been a strong desire of mine – as long as it is a safe situation, lol Where could I go to see the male at the nest cavity?

Missy and i did the same thing… we were planning on going today with an early start, but…… there’s always a Plan B

yesterday – Thursday – we had been birding locally around Boise since 0600 hrs, and that was pretty much our all-day mission, but when a location description was revealed on IBLE by Austin after a plea on IBLE by Denise, we changed course and headed for the hills… the Albion Mountains, Pomerelle Ski Area, and Lake Cleveland, where a storm blew in as we were departing, lowering the temperature to 48F , which felt miraculous for the 1st of August….

speaking of PUMA, we saw the male at its nest cavity in early afternoon, but we had already encountered Puma the mammal early yesterday on our way to Idaho City…

so it was a PUMA / Puma day for us in S Idaho !! =)

thx again, both Austin and Denise for posting IBLE, and esp the finders / 1st reporters / Evan and Liam….!!

I stopped by Mountain Home reservoir on my way home today. Shorebird numbers were so-so but the number of species increased from the last time I stopped there.

Avocets, LB dowitcher, greater yellowlegs, Wilson’s and red-necked phalaropes, killdeer, and Least, Western, semipalmated, sported and Bairds Sandpipers.

Subject: [CALBIRDS] Fwd: Little Stint at saltworks

An adult Little Stint, presumably one of last winter’s two birds, has returned to the salt works on Friday the 2nd. They are dropping the saltworks pond that is half a mile east of 13th Street, and the bird is frequenting the first, southwest corner of that pond. It has molted out of breeding plumage quite a bit but still has a faint orange cast to the rear of the head and nape area and a few of the black feathers with broad rusty edges on the lower scapulars and tertials remain as well. It still has fine dark spotting on the sides of the upper breast but otherwise the underparts are totally clean white, and of course it has a notably short and fine-tipped bill, and a faint split supercilium. Otherwise, I cannot find any rare shorebirds on this pond despite the large numbers of birds present, including plenty of juvenile Western sandpipers.

The stint remained for an hour and a half in the same area and presumably is still there when we left, although the water level will be substantially lower tomorrow as the pond further drops, and so the bird could easily move to another area. No guarantees, although certainly it isn’t going anywhere given it’s presumably a returning wintering bird.

Ken, I had planned to wait until Saturday. But I woke up at 3 am and couldn’t sleep so I headed out just after 4 am. Saw the bird and then headed back to Caldwell and work. ?
