A male Rose-breasted Grosbeak was seen with a male Black-headed Grosbeak at the Pacific Recycling Trail/”People’s Park” in Pocatello on May 24. Someone else reported this–with a photo–in the Pocatello Trails Facebook group. I went there the next day, but did not find it.

Re: Baltimore Oriole
Thanks Virginia. I was at the site in Bellevue for about 2 hours this morning. No luck.

Re: Baltimore Oriole
Denise,
4 people saw the bird yesterday at this location in Belleview:
It was reported in the daily eBird message.
Hope this helps.

Baltimore Oriole
I’ve been looking for the Oriole that had been seen for the last 2 days but no luck. The feeders seem to be almost empty so the homeowner may be gone or just not filling them.
If you look for the Oriole please post to to IBLE whether you saw or didn’t see the bird. Thanks.

Re: Neotropic Cormorant still at Auger Falls
RL and Jason found a group of cormorants (including the two Neotropic) on the rocks in the river near the golf course clubhouse earlier today. Right after we joined them a double crested cormorant harassed the neotropics and they took off down river. More details on eBird.

Great! Thank you for the update Melody. I hope to make it down there at some point. We shall see.

Tanager Day
In the past hour, sitting on my patio, I’ve had perhaps 30 Western Tanagers move through. I’ve casually seen many — probably a couple dozen — in walking my dog around my neighborhood today (Depot area, Boise). It happens every year, and I always enjoy it.
Also — a female Anna’s Hummingbird at my feeder. I’ve seen them here in late fall, but never spring.

Neotropic Cormorant still at Auger Falls
Hello all – I found one neotropic cormorant along the auger falls road (by twin falls) just now. The pin on my Ebird report is where you can see the bird from the River. You have to walk down a steep little trail to the river ( if it stays in the same place). The river is hard to see because of thick brush along the road. I just stopped everywhere that there was a little trail or I could see the river to look for it on the big river rocks. Didn’t find it yesterday but it’s there today. I will measure half how far it is from the end of the pavement when I head back home home and send that information.
good luck if anyone chases this bird!
