Scott,
Good to know you’re still birding and posting some interesting finds Sorry I didn’t see you this spring or summer..
I had hoped to visit Jim when I was in Portland a couple weeks ago, but I got sick and decided best not to expose them.
Hope you and Anna are doing well. Have a good trip to Arizona.Paul
Yep, it usually takes a few mistakes every time I post to IBLE to realize what I am doing, just have to remember to use the private email address instead of the group address ! 🙂
By the way, perhaps start communicating with me via my direct email instead of continuing to clog up IBLE

Hi Everyone,
My apologies for sending private responses to the whole group, I keep replying to emails sent to me via
groups.io. I will try to remember in the future to start a new email string privately 🙂

Hi Louisa,
Thanks very much for claiming the LLS route, I know you are going to enjoy this :). Not to worry about which month you will start, if you get to the point where you know you wont do November just drop me a quick note :). In addition to what I sent you earlier, I am including:
1. My January 2025 monthly summary chart which shows what was seen and where that month. I prepare one of these at the end of each month and then send it to everyone.
Ps – to view the file, click the icon then click on the “sheet 1 – table 1 – table 1Longf” tab that appears on the page that comes up
2. Our project map showing all 614 active routes last winter, the red ones were new to the project last winter.
After you have reviewed everything, let me know if you have ANY questions, be glad to help :). Looking forward to working with you this winter and seeing what will be using your route, good luck and enjoy your outings 🙂
I think I will take the Lake Lowell South route but don’t know yet if I would start in November or December.
This morning at 12:30AM my BirdNet-Pi system captured the calls from a flock of Snow Geese flying over my house in Boise’s North End. The recordings covered a period of just under a minute. No idea how big the flock was. I did listened to the recordings and that is what they were. BirdNet-Pi has been known to make false positives — it turns my neighbor’s heat pump into a Saw-whet Owl. So, I have learned to check the more interesting decodes like these. This is a first “sighting” of Snow Geese here at the house. I can’t post on eBird as it does not fit their protocol. But thought a short mention here would be interesting.
