Look at the data, i.e., eBird charts
please STOP with your opinions and consider the DATA
if you had ever served in the U.S. military you’d know about “opinions”

Remember that birds typically don’t go south for the winter. Many go north to breed and don’t linger.

Wow, they are already heading back? They get less than 3 months of vacation, apparently… Jonathan Barnett, Horseshoe Bend

Indeed, Denise. This has been 115 days of confinement while covering birding/fishing as much as possible in Gem Cty. But what a reward waited for us this week in Valley.

Nice find! I love large groups of unexpected birds. It becomes a WOW moment.

Still adding photos from a morning birding at Sugarloaf in Valley County. https://ebird.org/checklist/S71298275
But, the big surprise – which wouldn’t have happened without a bored spouse benched from the ice rink due to Covid 19, an electric trolling motor, and a startling view of them lifting off 200 yards away, was 100+ Marbled Godwits, parked on the east side near HWY 55 among Canadian geese, pelicans, and other waterfowl. What gorgeous critters.
