The turn to the north side is quite a bit east of town. I don’t recall the road number for sure. But I think it is 1800 east,
east of the grocery store and will take you to Hamer if you want to go there.

Subject: [IBLE] Mud Lake WMA?
It had been years since I have been to Mud Lake WMA and turned at sign in Terreton and made it to south boat ramp and then continued on NE until I ran into sign stating no motorized vehicles. Went back to highway 33 and continued west to Mud Lake and
took only other sign mentioning Mud Lake WMA but after about one hour driving along various canals gave up, but did see a cool Short-eared Owl family hanging out. The PDF file on IFG web site is not of much value as doesn’t even show the highway, so no real
reference. Total lack of signage out there. I can’t believe I’m the only dunce who has had trouble finding the north side but any help would be appreciated. Camas was great – loved seeing Curlew’s, etc.

Although I’m an Android guy, I hear ya’! Not much better on Android platform. Feel I have enough command of the English language that autocorrect, etc just gets in my way.
On the bird front along the Snake River: Bullock’s Orioles, BH Grosbeaks, Yellow Warblers & House Wrens are here in good numbers. Juncos & White-crowned Sparrows have been replaced by numbers of Chipping Sparrows now, esp going after dandelion fluff. And, appears the Cassin’s Finches have moved on, & probably upwards, to higher elevation.

I hate Mac autocomplete. The BH Grosbeaks weren’t in possession of anything and while the feeder sways under assault,it was being mobbed not moved.

Hey all, RL here.
Just had a phone call from an acquaintance. She and a friend were at Lucky Peak State Park-Discovery Unit yesterday looking for migrant birds to get some photos The ladies found a pair of loose parakeets, one yellow. one blue. I told her that, way out there, a pair, sounded to me like the birds were dumped. She said the birds were staying high and being harassed by other birds. I know nothing can be done for them but it is a sad commentary on things. The birds could have been taken to Ruth Melicar Center and a home could have been found.
