Re: White-throated Sparrow at Canyon Hill Cemetery in Caldwell
Canyon Hill Cemetery is a great place to go birding, and is one of my favorites. 🙂
Here is my checklist with a poor photo of the sparrow.

Re: White-throated Sparrow at Canyon Hill Cemetery in Caldwell
I have never been to Canyon Hill Cemetery now I have a reason to go. I have been searching many days and hours for a White-throated Sparrow.

In case anyone is interested, Norman Eshoo found an adult White-throated Sparrow at the southeast end of the cemetery below the rim on Wednesday. The Lord allowed me to be able to relocate it yesterday at the same place. After an hour of waiting, I finally saw it foraging beneath the bird feeders on the far side of Mason Creek. The bird had a lighter brown body, a bold white supercilium, yellow lores, and a white throat. After 20 seconds or so, the bird flitted a few feet away to the south. A few minutes later, I heard it giving its high-pitched, slightly trilly “seet” calls. I will post photos on my checklist later today.Have a great weekend!

thanks. will do
Re: Ted Trueblood yesterday
Best entry is the one marked with a blue Ted Trueblood Ln. sign, where Shaw Rd. (green st. sign) crosses the MH-Grandview hwy. Watch for the brown Ted Trueblood WMA sign. Takes you to the viewing platform/parking area overlooking the west end of the big pond.

Take the entrance next to the pasture. Last year a pair of owls were seen in the pasture.

Re: Ted Trueblood yesterday
This is the Trueblood Wildlife Area near Grand View, I take it? I live in Mountain Home and drive that way often on the way to Murphy and the Owyhee County Museum. What’s the best entrance way? I ask because I Think there are two marked entrances.
thanks

Ted Trueblood yesterday
Hi birders,
Yesterday, Amy & I birded here, water level very low with substantial areas of mud.
Only duck species were Green-winged Teal (most numerous), Shoveler, and Mallard.
But most worthy of note was the presence of about 20 Long-billed Dowitchers, which is a trifle early so was flagged as a rarity for the time of year. The other big highlight was that in the fields by the approach road we counted at least 5 Short-eared Owls, certainly the most I’ve ever seen together.

I discovered a male COMMON GRACKLE, this afternoon, and the University of Idaho’s Parker Farm facility in east Moscow https://ebird.org/checklist/S79614719. This is a first record for Latah County and one of very few for all of north Idaho. Also present were 2 continuing Blue Jays.
Good Birding,
