WOW … I have only seen them in Alberta, CD
This morning I found a pair of HARLEQUIN DUCKS at the “Pump Station Overlook” (check the eBird hotspot for exact location) on the Clearwater River a few miles east of Lewiston on US-12. They flew down river, but Katie Sorenson refound them back at the overlook at 9:15, and half a dozen of us are currently enjoying them for the Lewiston CBC. Photos will be up on eBird, later.
Good Birding,

CBC peoples,
Has anyone else peeked at Jason’s effort for yesterday’s CBC?
not knowing his full effort, to me it’s nothing short of epic / heroic / because his 2nd list (below) is for a ten-mile trek across the Scottish Highlands !! 😉
he had an amazing day for species and numbers…….!!!
eh?

Great reporting, Carl, and good birds !!
FWIW, I wish eBird could “time-stamp” your checklists and show them chronologically, so we could better envision / follow / your CBC adventure, Jason’s CBC adventure, yada yada yada….
eh? 😉

From an eBird perspective….sp listed below were all photographed and are already confirmed, except for Barred Owl, but it soon will be? because Ceredig’s photo was embedded…
Sincere thanks for your summary report, Jay!! All highlights you mention are awesome, but to me the TWO NEW WARBLER SPECIES are esp fascinating =)
For the history of the Boise count (1966-2019), eight sp of warblers have been reported and accepted…..
WOW !!!
