Re: Yellow-billed Loon

That was a rush!! 

meeting Bob Davis and Terry, abt 1350 hrs, seeing both COLO and YBLO in same scope view, side-by-side, just hanging, no discernible interaction between them, N side of Bell rapids boat launch among so many fishers, oblivious to our excitement, lifer for Missy, apparently we just missed Jay at the alleged scene…  amazingly calm and room-temperature day on Rock #3….     Hagerman area winter birding rocks !!!!!

Thank you for initial find, Lauren, and sincere thx Denise for reporting on IBLE  =)   always  ~  ~   ~     ~
thence homeward to Winter Solstice and the Great Conjunction, shhhh, Jupiter and Saturn kissing, like seriously?  an 800-yr event ????   =)

Raptors

I patrolled along Idaho Hwy. 51, Mountain Home to Grasmere, Owyhee County, this morning. A good day to see raptors. Here are a Red-tailed Hawk, Golden Eagle and American Kestrel, all perched on roadside utility poles.
