my humble guess is that your sighting is “rare” because of a lack of observers thereabouts….?

my eBird bar chart for the sp in southwest Idaho (seven counties) illustrate “peak spring migration” as the last week of April and first week of May……. i.e., broadest bar is now

data !!! =)

NICE FIND RICH !!!
