Saw my first group of little yellow fluffy goslings sandwiched between parents at front & back, all in a line, down on the Snake this AM. Had gone down to check on fishing conditions. River came up a bit during the night. Did see a couple of good rises. Water’s supposed to drop again mid-week.

We’ve got our usuals, but very few if any calliope hummers, many broad tailed.

I’ve looked at over a thousand goldfinches trying for a lesser. May be time to catch one and apply magic marker.

Sandhills may have a colt.

All my usual bird harbingers of Spring are now here (House Wren, Yellow Warbler, Bullock’s Oriole, BH Grosbeak, Lazuli Bunting, Swainson’s Hawk, RW Blackbird, Black-chinned Hummingbird) except for Western Tanager. Tanager can be fickle along the Snake River Bottoms. Sometimes, passing through in large numbers, other times…one or two & have to be at right place at right time. If I miss at home, will head into mountains to a spot that never fails me to locate one.
