White-eyed Vireo in Twin Falls
If anyone is interested in a White-eyed Vireo, one has been hanging out in Lauren Brockway’s neighborhood. Facebook post from Lauren: If you decide to chase, please park at the end of 3400 at the designated trail parking. You can park there and then walk past the gate into Hidden Lakes, and on the right there is a pond on the south side of the road. The bird is in the Russian olives next to that pond. I have high hopes that he’ll stick around.

I saw my first house wren this afternoon here just north of Idaho Falls.

Saw & heard first House Wren yest, along Snake River. In fact, just had one appear on edge of back deck, where I’m now relaxing! No Lazulis yet, nor hummingbirds, at my location.

Re: Greater White-fronted Goose
I think the bald eagle was saluting you, Tom.

Greater White-fronted Goose
The Common Loon was again at Silver Lake today, although I couldn’t find it on the way back (long ride). But at Pamela Baker Park, in Eagle, there was a Greater White-fronted Goose hanging out with some Canadians.
My ride was 21 miles, and I found 38 species, including a finale by a Bald Eagle as I was leaving Esther Simplot Park. He flew right towards me, did a loop over my head, and then headed for the river. Nice way to end a long ride.

Common Loon
Sorry to be so slow in reporting this, but there was an adult Common Loon at Silver Lake (Lake Harbor) at around 1 PM today. I saw a disturbance in the water and watched, expecting one of the “usual suspects,” when up popped the loon.
I also encountered my first BH Cowbird today, although I identified by sound because I didn’t see him.

1st Spring Warbler
Just had a breeding plumage male Yellow-rumped (Audubon’s variety) Warbler come in. He was fly-catching midges from one of the aspen trees. Didn’t stay around for long. Definitely, in a hurry…places to go & see!
