For those of you that don’t get OBOL postings, the morning buzz is the possibility of a frigatebird along the Columbia. It was seen between Arlington and Biggs, flying between I-84 and the railroad tracks. It was reported as: “It was a pelagic bird that was uniformly dark brown all over, had a five foot wingspan, a fairly long tail, a heavy stout bill that came down to a point. The wings at the elbow came back at a fairly Sharp angle from the rest of the wing and had pointed wing tips. The body looked like a long torpedo shape.”

Again, this is only a POSSIBLE, unconfirmed sighting at this time, but in case there are people feeling close enough to the general area to go take a look, I thought I’d forward.

Hi IBLE,
Hopefully this post comes through? I just got a batch of Magnolia Warbler posts from a few days ago that didn’t get to me until this morning.
As many have seen on eBird and Facebook, we have an Ovenbird currently coming to our house and a number of birders have been able to see it. Location/info here: eBird Checklist – 1 Nov 2019 – Bitteroot House – 2 species (+1 other taxa)
For those who would like to see it, all are welcome to come any time.
We’d like to stress that if you would like to see the bird it is best to stay quiet and best to view from inside your vehicles. When there was a lot of birder activity this morning the bird was not spotted for about 2 hours. Once birders moved into their cars and kept voices down it’s been seen twice in the span of about half an hour, each time the junco flock comes in.
The bird is coming to the bark chips and leaves by our front door where we have some rosemary and lavender planted. It comes in with the neighborhood flock of juncos.  Best viewing is from near the street corner by the fire hydrant or the entrance to our driveway.
Good birding all!~Heidi and JayBoise

Yes, same for me from Horseshoe Bend – hoping to be out there about 3pm if the bird is there, thanks!
