For those interested, late yesterday morning my birding group and I encountered a Red-shouldered Hawk at Grayback Gulch Campground and it was calling and flying towards Idaho City which is a few miles to the north.Â
We also had a pair of White-winged Crossbills a little north and east, past Mores Creek Summit at Whoop Em Up Campground. I havenât heard of them being expected, so I thought it notable!Â
Sharing this for public info and anyone interested in these sightings.Â
Good birding,
AustinÂ

Kamilia Canyon Road in the Ruby Mountains, where you go to see Himalayan Snowcock, has been closed as of Sunday by multiple avalanches. This happened while we were in the air, on our way west.
We were told that the decision had not yet been made on reopening the road, and that if they decide to go ahead, it will be at least several monthsâ work to clear the road, perhaps even a year.
Sorry that this is for a site outside Idaho, where we just were, but I donât subscribe to the Nevada Listserv, and this species would be relevant to many folks in Idaho This was quite a bummer for a trip that was two years in the planning, but
