On our way back from biking, Susan spotted a swan out in the middle of
Veteran’s Pond. It was quite large, with a straight neck and a gray tinge to
its feathers. I initially thought a Trumpeter because there was no “knob” on
its bill like a Mute. But the bill had a lot of orange to it, and Sibley
seems to point toward Mute. I’d be interested to hear what others think once
they’ve seen it. It definitely got me excited when I thought it was a
Trumpeter.

Cool … I ran into Blue Jays and Steller’s Jays today in Bellvue while looking for a Pileated Woodpecker … no luck on the Pileated again 🙂

We have had two “firsts” at our backyard feeders in Idaho Falls this week. On Oct. 21 we had a Stellar Jay, which has continued to visit, and then just this morning 2 Blue Jays. We were used to seeing Stellars when we lived in Teton Valley, but that was 15 years ago!

That’s exciting! I think Pacific Loons look incredibly elegant, so
photogenic.

Super cool news,
Right now there is a Pacific loon among a couple hundred common loons above
the dam. Also, 7 scoters:
5 Surf Scoter
1 White-winged Scoter
1 Black Scoter
The scoters are all associating together right at the dam. Viewable easily
from the little gravel “spit” that borders the highway there on the
reservoir side.

Just to add to the conversation about alternatives to MOB, we launched Montana eBird last year which is a portal within eBird that we manage that has Montana specific information on bird studies, citizen science volunteer opportunities, general info, bird photos/videos/sound recordings, and bird sightings (you can see Montana rarities at the bottom of the page).
All you need to do is add “/mt” to the end of the eBird url:
