My saw my very first Harlequin Duck on May 28, 1977 on Teton Creek in Teton Valley. It was actually a little ways into Wyoming, but pretty close to Idaho!

Re: More On Harlequins
I can see lots of Harlequins, 15 – 20, about this time every year at LeHardy rapids and fewer at confluence near Yellowstone picnic area. Maybe recent breeding success has them expanding range west. These were a huge nemesis bird for me when we lived back east. I chased them at the coast many years. Now I see them every year on Spring Park trip and have even stopped photographing them in the rapids.
