Lazulis love Daniels Creek up Bogus Basin Rd above Boise. I should check. I’ll praise your name when I find them, Ruth.

Re: Lazuli Buntings
Thank you for your location. Blackfoot is a long way from where I live, so I will refrain from from hoping to see them near me. I’ve never had Lazulis in my yard in Boise, not close enough to a canal or stream.

Re: Lazuli Buntings
forgot to say in my last post that I’m on the very east edge of Blackfoot next to a canal with edges that are managed like a cottonwood/brush habitat

Re: Black-Throated Sparrow at Dedication Point
Great find, Marty! That is the singular place in Idaho that I have found that bird in past years. It’s a good sign that it is still showing up there! Dedication Point seems to be a ‘sparrow magnet’ – we used to see about 6-7 species
right there. If my memory serves me right, they were ‘Black-throated’, “Sagebrush’, “Vesper’, ‘Brewer’s’ ‘White-crowned’, “Savannah” and “Lark”. Enjoy the weekend…Jonathan

Warbler!
2 new arrivals yest afternoon: a male Wilson’s Warbler & a House Wren. First warbler I’ve seen since last Fall & it beat the Yellows here. For over 30 yrs, Yellow Warbler has been first to arrive & first to leave.
Black-chinned Hummingbird male is still hitting the nectar feeder. A pair has nested on our place for the past sev yrs & I did see a female last week. Still waiting on Bullock’s Oriole & W Tanager.

Cool find I saw and photographed my first one Tuesday AM off Mudflat Road.

Hi, I came across a BTSP this morning at Dedication Point which is on Swan Falls Road, south of Kuna, and overlooks the Snake River. The bird was located in the shrubs just off the trail at the south end of the overlook (wall) itself. This is the upstream side of the Snake River. I had trouble with my cell connection at the time and thus couldn’t report it earlier.Cheers,

Re: Spring Arrivals
I have about 30 evening grosbeaks in my backyard right now, along with about 6 lazuli buntings. So great to see both. Haven’t had the grosbeaks in my yard for a decade or so.
