Brian,
Birded Valley County last week and saw plenty of yellow-rumped warblers,
mountain bluebirds, kinglets, and evening grosbeaks coming through around
Lake Cascade. That was my first time there birding in fall so I can’t
compare it to anything.

Here in Emmett I’ve seen a surprising number of yellow-rumped warblers,
with one or two kinglets, and the winter residents of white crowned
sparrows, oregon juncos, flickers, and cedar waxwings have arrived. The
canal is thick with goldfinches and lesser GFs.
