I’ve lived in eastern Idaho since 1991 and yesterday is the first time I’ve seen Harlequin Ducks in east Idaho. I’ve seen them a few times in Montana on the Gallatin River but not over here. Today I was on the South Fork of the Snake River near Swan Valley and a male Harlequin Duck flew up the river right past my boat. Must be the right tome for migration…

Thanks for the spring migrant reports. Today I hear Black-capped Chickadees in conifers along the driveway. A neighborhood Cooper’s Hawk is occasionally in the pines, always exciting to see and hear.
Saw a Black-chinned hummer Friday at a friend’s feeder in Eagle. I’ll put out my hummingbird feeders tomorrow.
