Wow … I guess we were to high birding with Terry yesterday at the Mores Mountain Trail 🙂

The bird is actively singing from the top of sunflowers. It’s about 50-60 feet or so from the road.

Re: Dickcissel in Payette County
Great find, Terry Rich! Nice photo, Denise.
Want to point out to folks that when setting location on this road for ebird checklists, it comes up Bluf Rd, which it isn’t. Street signage is clearly marked Big Willow Rd, running from its intersection with Bluff Rd east to Sucker Creek Rd.
I don’t know of a solution for that mapping problem but following the pin will find the location where the bird is actively singing and possibly nesting; playback I would think should be discouraged.

Western Flycatcher Re-lumped
The 2023 supplement to the AOS checklist includes the re-lumping of Pacific Slope and Cordilleran Flycatchers into Western Flycatcher. This “species” pair has long presented an impossible ID challenge so this news is very welcome. You can read more about it here:
