SW Boise, no hummers yet. But last summer the black chinned stayed
well into mid Sept, the latest in my 5 yrs at this location.

My sister over Gig Harbor, WA way had arrival of
Rufous Hummingbirds around 2 wks ago. I put out nectar
feeder 10 days ago & no visitors, yet. The winds
haven’t helped, but hopefully getting past that now.
Curious, any ID birders seeing hummingbirds yet?

Bluebirds


We drove up to Centennial Marsh, near Hill City, yesterday. The water is running around the refuge, but the birds are thin.  Did see a mixed flock on pintails, northern shovelers
and mallards. A small flock of snow geese and a few canadians. Saw half a dozen Sandhill Cranes flying low.  We then drove Old Bennet Mtn road and the Bluebird trail.  Found about a dozen male Mountain Bluebirds along the lower stretch of the road.

 

Hopefully, the water holds out for the main migration. It is very dry on the prairie, already.
