Re: Been a Few Years!

My first W. Tanager showed up along the Boise Greenbelt today, and my first Bullock’s Oriole was yesterday. Yellow Warblers are out in force along the Boise River, as are Bewick’s Wrens. My first House Wren was about a week ago. It’s been years since I saw
a Canyon Wren along the river. Have yet to see or hear a BH Grosbeak. (Maybe tomorrow?)
At home, I’ve had BC Hummers off and on for the last week. First one arrived on Monday. Still not a regular visitor.

Been a Few Years!

Had a rare Spring visitor this morning. Another cool, wet front arriving today, so went out to the woodpile to bring up some more firewood. And, scared up a Canyon Wren pushing through. Interestingly, the only place, here, I’ve ever seen them over the years is at our woodpile. And, probably no more than 3 or 4 times in the past. 
 
More Black-headed Grosbeaks are arriving, as well as, Yellow Warblers. Did have an adult male Lazuli Bunting at the feeder a few days ago. Still waiting for Bullock’s Oriole & W Tanager.
