Only have a voice memo and crummy digi-bino pics but just had a singing male Tennessee Warbler in our yard in Boise … and while outside trying to document it, had a singing male Black-throated Gray come by (didn’t track it but it came from S so may have kept moving towards canal). Haven’t heard it for the last 15 minutes but people are welcome to try for it – in area near junction of Bitteroot & Lawrence.

Does anybody on IBLE have a photo or details about the
Black-chinned x Calliope Hummingbird hybrid being reported on
eBird rare bird alert at Camas NWR Hdqtrs? Just curious.

Message from Zeke on Facebook: “Hooded Oriole NE of Carey. 396 Austin Rd. Bird is in the backyard. Please don’t block the driveway. Oranges donated would be welcomed.” Zeke heard from landowner about it yesterday afternoon …
2 Spring arrivals today: this AM, a Gray Catbird was calling repeatedly from streamside willows. Slowly worked my way to where it was calling from & got a great observation, including the rufous undertail marking. And, this evening, a male Wilson’s Warbler arrived.
BH Grosbeaks are here in number now, males & females, at least 8 individuals. Yellow Warblers are numerous, calling from cottonwoods. And, Black-chinned Hummingbirds have definitely found the nectar feeder. Males & females with at least one male already performing display flights. Also, a couple of male Lazuli Buntings are present. And, fairly certain, I’ve heard a couple of Bullock’s Orioles over the past 2 days. Still waiting on W Tanager. My sister is seeing them over Gig Harbor way.
My saw my very first Harlequin Duck on May 28, 1977 on Teton Creek in Teton Valley. It was actually a little ways into Wyoming, but pretty close to Idaho!
