All day today I’ve had a green-tailed Towhee scratching up my back yard.  They are a rare visitor to my yard; I’ve seen them only a couple times before over a period of years.  Also have a few White-crowned Sparrows hanging around, and also today, a House Wren made an appearance.

Corrections. The Yellow-rumped wasn’t at my feeder; he was at my birdbath!

I had a Yellow-rumped Warbker (male) at my feeder yesterday, as well.

Spotted 5 Yellow Rumped Warblers at American Falls Fish Hatchery on Sunday, and heard a Chipping Sparrow yesterday for the first time in Pocatello. Heading out early tomorrow to witness Sage Grouse doing their thing in Curlew Grasslands.

First hummingbird of the year for me this AM!  A Black-chinned male.  Maybe spring really is near.

Be aware that if you go now to see the crane the Harney County Bird Festival is in progress thru the weekend. —

I did get to see it.  I ditched work the morning it was discovered and headed to Fairfield. 😀

Probably, ranging from New México to Arizona to California to Idaho and finally Oregon. I hope you got to see the one in Idaho. I don’t think it stuck there long. Judy

Thanks Judy.  I wonder if this is the same crane that was outside of Fairfield in November 2020.
