We’ve got lots of siskens, almost as many as gold finches, and a few house finches. I recall we get nuthatches in late winter. Rosy finches only stuck around for less than an hour.

Re: RB Nuthatches in E Idaho?
What is the seedcop like in the pines and firs ? These seedeaters’ numbers fluctuate with seed availability in Valley County I’ve noticed, and we have more evidence of that in their numbers on our Christmas bird counts.

RB Nuthatches in E Idaho?
Anyone in eastern Idaho seeing RB Nuthatches? We normally have lots of them but have recently noticed that we’re not seeing any (Also, little to no house finches or pine siskins, fwiw). Wondering what, if anything, might be going on. We still have many Stellars Jays, lots of chickadees, goldfinches and evening grosbeaks. Maybe just the normal fluctuation that occurs year to year?
