Are the ponds large enough for the loons to fly out of.?

Thank … you I think a bunch of COLO’s hit ice up north and made a U turn. Way more in the valley than normal.

Hummingbirds in Pocatello
The first hummingbird of the year was seen at my home in the hills east of Pocatello. Likely a Broad-Tailed. This is right about when they normally return.
Re: Colorful
The iridescence on turkeys is quite stunning in the right light. And they’re fun to watch and sometimes funny in interaction with others.

Re: Partride?
Thanks to all of you for a quick response. I would not have thought of it being an “escapee”, but that sure explains how it got here.

Re: Partride?
I had a male Bobwhite visit my yard here in the North End a few years ago. What tipped me off? I heard the distinctive “Bob-white!” and turned to my friend, “That sounds just like a Bobwhite, how can that be?” Learned that there were escapees. Hadn’t heard one since living in Michigan decades ago. Sure enough. Here’s a shot I took of him sitting on my neighbor’s car, and then later, when it wandered into my backyard and onto the trellis.

The photo of the eastern is a bit different angle. If you went and bought quail eggs what hatches out is a varying mixture.

Had this visitor to our front yard yearly this evening. I think it is a gray partridge, but this is my first sighting of one. It was browsing on seed that dropped out of a feeder and some weeds (I’m hoping it comes back with a lot of friends!)Tom SonivilleWest Bench—
