Re: swans, Boise

this Trumpeter pair has had quite the journey this winter…I first found them just below and downstream from the old Bens Crow Inn access in mid December. Then Bike for Birds found them At Quinn’s Pond around the holidays. Then they were at Hyatt Hidden Lakes
for a couple weeks and now they are back upstream again. I imagine there were other sightings in other locations along the Boise River as well. Would have been fun to see all their travels with a GPS tracker. One other note…the juvenile bird has been morphing
ever so slowly, out of its grey plumage.

Hi Todd

Those may be the two Trumpeter swans that have been at Hyatt Hidden lakes reserve until it mostly froze over the last couple of days. We were wondering where they went. Thanks fir info.

Last night a segment on t.v.was about rock climbers hired by an agency in Colorado studying way to address birds being killed flying into.blades on wind farms.they were installing sensors to.see if putting large decals in black will help birds see & avoid blades hope it helps to stop millions being killed 

Re: Snows

For whatever reason there seems to be a lot of Snow Geese hanging
around this winter. I was at Cottonwood access on CJ Strike a
couple weeks ago and there were two big flocks around the holes in
the ice, probably numbering in the thousands of birds. Strange to
see them…
