Came across a pair of American Pipits along the Snake River. Both were paler adults in breeding plumage with buffy-faint reddish breasts. Walking along river edge & bobbing when stopped. Been awhile since I’ve seen Pipits.
There was a Calliope photographed in Orofino on Apr 1st but I
don’t see any other accepted recrods this year.

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?

Boise River Road (outside Notus to Parma) has several fields that have been flooded. I didn’t see any shorebirds today other than Killdeer but this area has been a good place to look for migrating shorebirds in the spring.
