Re: Blk crk resv
In the U.S., it is illegal to hunt grebe species. Grebes are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), a law that safeguards over 1,000 species of migratory birds, including grebes. This act makes it unlawful to pursue, hunt, capture, kill, or sell these birds, as well as their eggs, nests, or parts, without a permit. Violating the MBTA can result in significant fines and penalties. Grebes are mainly admired for their striking appearances and behaviors, and their populations are managed to ensure their conservation.
That’s all!

Re: Blk crk resv
I have not hunted with a gun in many years and my grandfather said divers were not good to eat so I never wanted to eat one so never shot any.
From what I can tell you are correct they are protected in all states where federal migratory bird protections are in place and according to my count of the list that is 50 states including Idaho.

I believe grebes are illegal to hunt. They are protected as a non-game species.

Re: Swainson’s Thrush Today
I’ve been watching for Siskins here, even refilled my thistle seed feeder the other day. As Goldfinches were hitting it hard, in addition to the platform feeder sunflower seeds. Hopefully, some will show here soon.

Re: Swainson’s Thrush Today
We’re getting some new birds, but no heavy winter flocks yet. Goldfinches and siskens showed. They go through more seed than chickadees with more spillage, which turkeys, squirrels and chipmunks appreciate. A fine plumage male golden crowned kinglet showed for a bit yesterday, new bird. Lots of turkeys strutting around, magpies and red tails taking flyovers and sitting on trees and fence posts scouting for food.

Swainson’s Thrush Today
Today’s Fall migrant was a Swainson’s Thrush. Didn’t find any Warblers, Vireos or Kinglets. Winter resident Townsend’s Solitaires are busy staking out their Rocky Mtn juniper trees & already competing with American Robins for juniper berries.
Others today: Red-tailed Hawks, an adult Bald Eagle perched across the river & an overhead attack by a Sharp-shinned Hawk missed a flight of American Goldfinches. My little backyard colony of Least Chipmunks is busy storing scattered black-oil sunflower seeds as fast as possible, filling their cheek pouches to near bursting! I enjoy watching their antics as much as birding!
