my eBird entry is here……
”
first breeding record in Idaho ?? !!
Missy and I stayed only long enough to see the male come into / depart from / the nest cavity,
our birding day started 0500 hrs, and we needed lunch, bathrooms, yada yada yada…. so we couldn’t linger
Steve, Darren and others were taking photos, lots of photos
pretty exciting stuff !!
my prior experience with the species ?
49 eBird entries in CA-BC,CA-MB,CA-SK,CU,HN,AZ,CO,FL,LA,OR,TX,WA
highest single location count was at an annual roost in Austin TX in late July…. 578K which was not my estimate but that of many others who’ve done annual counts thereabouts for years, using several methods of counting/estimating……
go experience that, ALL of you !!!
GO SEE IT !!!
warning – take an umbrella 😉 seriously

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?

ha!
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….!!
