curious who in Eagle is hosting the california scrub jay I saw fly across the road from homes near the Crunch Fitness Club (formerly Rocky Mtn. Fitness) this past week ?
that fitness club is just east of the Albertsons on Eagle Road between the old and new State Streets
with all the imports from California the past few years it is not surprising that one hitched a ride 😉

Feb 24th we logged in tree swallows working the Payette west of Emmett… mind boggling. And today our neighbor’s apricot trees bloomed. Flummoxed in Gem County,

On March 3rd I spotted a Violet-green swallow flying over the Pend Oreille River near Priest River. It was 10 days earlier than I had ever spotted one in this area. Last year one arrived on the 13th making the earliest arrival. I have been keeping an unofficial migratory record here since 1991. You could count on seeing the swallows arriving at approximately 2 pm on the 17th every year. I always considered it the unofficial start of spring. Today I spotted over 50 swallows, at least one was a Violet-green, feeding low on the water in the same location. Normally that volume doesn’t arrive until the end of the month. Did anyone else notice such an early arrival?
