Yesterday late afternoon about 5pm Amy & I were treated to 3 FOY birds pretty well in a single bush along the Boise Greenbelt at SE 3.9.
First a splendid adult male Anna’s Hummingbird, whose throat looked dark whilst perched, but as soon as it took off it revealed dazzling carmine-red throat and forehead. Then right below where it was perching, a Hermit Thrush briefly showed itself, though concealed somewhat by twigs but we could see the thrush-like face pattern and the alternately raising & lowering of its rufous tail. Finally, a female Golden-crowned Kinglet showed itself just few feet below where the Hermit Thrush was.
Whilst all this was going on a House Finch was perched on the same bush singing its heart out.
Drove there 1:15 to photo long tail Duck their were lots of Ducks between dam & Bridge took while looking thru lots .mergansers & golden eyes both common& barrows. long tails pair off to far side got several photos thanks pat

Does anyone have any suggestions on where we might go to possibly find a goshawk in and around the Boise area? We’ve only been in Idaho since September and although I’ve seen a couple in my lifetime, they have been far and few between. It has been years since I’ve seen one and would love to see one again.
