Being a data nerd, I had to peek at ebird bar charts for N, SE, and SW Idaho, 10 counties each area, and they appear interestingly / slightly different…

N – doesn’t look rare during Sept-Apr

SE – doesn’t look rare mid-Oct thru mid-Mar

SW – doesn’t look rare Oct-Nov, Dec-Jan, with a brief “rare” window during interface of Nov-Dec

Just for fun, eh?

Of corvids, we’ve had only STJA (once for two days) and BBMA (daily for peanuts) at our backyard feeders

AMCR flyby often, CORA rarely so
