Hummingbird Battles Begin

25° drop for our high temps & rain most of yesterday & this AM. With the weather change, also a change at the hummingbird feeder. Three species now present: Black-chinned, Rufous & Calliope with females & juveniles of all being the most common. The only adult male I’ve seen today is Black-chinned. Overall numbers have increased, as well, with battles at the feeder, esp between Rufous & Calliope. Enjoying both the cooler temps & the feeder battles!

Re: Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

It is not at Centennial Marsh … it is has been at Camas National Wildlife Refuge north of Idaho Falls.

Good Morning Birders,

I am wanting to go and try to see the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher at Centennial Marsh this weekend. Before I start planning on heading out, has anyone recently seen it? If so, could you give me some specifics as to where I should be looking?
Thank you so much for your help! Hope all of you are staying cool in these hot summer temperatures.
