Thank you Sarah! And thank you to Peter and Micah who replied to me directly. I think I have a decent idea on the lay of the land now. Really appreciate all of the great information!

Re: Triumph
Hi Chris,
We saw them a few weeks ago. They are pretty easy to see as several residents provide seed for them. It’s kind of hard to park along the road because there is so much snow so we drove up Victor Dr, parked, walked across Eastfork road, then walked around Triumph Circle. A couple of locals came out and talked to us. One of them invited us onto her back porch to get really great views. Even managed to get a Hepburn’s (ssp?). Good luck to you!

Hi All,
I’m an Oregon resident and a new member of your listserv. I’m going to be coming through Idaho in about a week and have seen Black Rosy Finches reported in Triumph (Blaine County) on ebird. I’m planning on going there to see if they’re still about. Has anyone been there and if so can you please share any tips on specifically where the birds have been seen? Thank you. I really appreciate any assistance!

Re: swans, Boise
this Trumpeter pair has had quite the journey this winter…I first found them just below and downstream from the old Bens Crow Inn access in mid December. Then Bike for Birds found them At Quinn’s Pond around the holidays. Then they were at Hyatt Hidden Lakes
for a couple weeks and now they are back upstream again. I imagine there were other sightings in other locations along the Boise River as well. Would have been fun to see all their travels with a GPS tracker. One other note…the juvenile bird has been morphing
ever so slowly, out of its grey plumage.

Hi Todd
Those may be the two Trumpeter swans that have been at Hyatt Hidden lakes reserve until it mostly froze over the last couple of days. We were wondering where they went. Thanks fir info.

Folks –
Two swans over by Marianne Williams Park. An adult and a grey bird (cygnet). We saw them in retaining ponds from E. Warm Springs, location is at https://goo.gl/maps/YpPrYbc3LipNrDsq7. Definitely not mute swans, probably tundras, but could have been trumpeters. Didn’t have binos so couldn’t get suitable look at them from Warm Springs.

Program
Last night a segment on t.v.was about rock climbers hired by an agency in Colorado studying way to address birds being killed flying into.blades on wind farms.they were installing sensors to.see if putting large decals in black will help birds see & avoid blades hope it helps to stop millions being killed
Lens hood
I found a sigma lens hood at barber park, 150-600 mm. Contact me if it’s yours.

Re: Lake lowell
Robert – there have been up to two Least Sandpipers reported at the Deer Flat NWR Lower Dam canal outlet, and various estimates from 1500-5000 snow geese (with some Ross’s mixed in) out on the water.
