Thanks for the historical information about the Vermillion Flycatcher.

Re: Vermillion Flycatcher in Kimberly
There has been a significant influx or irruption of Vermilion Flycatchers to higher-than-usual latitudes, this fall (going back to at least October), from the Great Lakes region (northern Wisconsin, western Pennsylvania, Ontario, Ohio) to central Quebec, the north coast of California, and in the interior west (Loveland Colorado, Provo Utah). And this arrival timing, in late fall, is consistent with previous Idaho records (November 2022 in Salmon, late October 2019 in Nampa). So, while this is an exciting record, it fits an established pattern and is hard to attribute to a particular weather event (though the overall pattern may well reflect climate change).
Good Luck to any chasers and Good Birding,

Wow! That’s exciting!. It must have blown north in the big storm that brought warm air from the Southwest.

Male Vermillion Flycatcher is at a private residence but owners are fine with birders coming. You can park in the driveway as it is a loop. Homeoner’s names are Paige & Tucker.
