I got distracted and didn’t finish my thought. There are a few
around east Idaho.

FWIW, we saw one Rough-legged and one Ferruginous Hawk on the
Rexburg bench in Madison County today so there are at least a
few around.

Thanks for info from both of you, Bill & Tim! Wow,
wonder what’s kept the Rough-leggeds not that far away, just
to the NE? Good food supply I suppose. Interesting. Will be
watching for Rosy Finches, too! Had an irruption one year of
literally, thousands! Would go thru a 50 lb bag of sunflower
seeds in 3-4 days. That was 40 yrs ago though.

I started my monthly surveys November 7, when I recorded 130 RLHA and 125 FEHA, plus 17 unknown buteos just too far away to ID.
Just had rosy finches show up at sunflower feeder. Maybe you’ll finally get your winter finches Brian. My recollection is in past they show up in the depth of winter. Below zero here for most of last week. Heard from one person from Blackfoot who helped with F&G eagle count and they were mostly skunked.
