Tom – Thanks as always for the report, and very cool on the NOGO! I’ve been excited to see one locally, especially since Rob Miller’s excellent presentation at Osher.
Noticed that many gulls were up and about yesterday afternoon, but did not get to see the crowd at Quinn’s!
Today, for the first time in several years, I found a gorgeous Northern Goshawk along the Boise River Greenbelt. He was just downstream of Silver Lake and just upstream of the fork in the river that creates Plantation Island. He posed for quite a while for me, but then left in a flash. Way cool.
It was a much warmer bike ride today, with 39 birds. In addition to the NOGO, there were at least 5 GB Herons in different locations, a continuing GH Owl, and a Quinn’s Pond so covered in gulls that it looked like you could have walked across on their backs (assuming they were inclined to allow such a thing).
Verification of new configuration. Please disregard.

I do not chase birds as much as I chase places.
I can enjoy the birds I meet, if I enjoy the place I meet them.

My first real posting here, beyond yesterday’s test. Seem to be having some trouble logging in. I can log in with my email/password only from the Home Page. Any/all other pages that permit me to sign in reject both my email as well as my password, don’t say which. Am I going about this the wrong way? Should I stay constantly logged in or as normal, sign-in/sign-out as required? Or is it that I can only sign-in when I am logged in on my ISP’s email site, which is what seems to be happening? Haven’t yet figured out what is…? Was up to the landfill a bit ago. Only got 5 MODO’s and one RTHA, the latter feeding on something small while perched on a power pole. The top was totally fogged in. Not able to see anything so called it. Another time. Signing-out… perplexedly… for the moment. Continued Good Birding (in future: CGB). RL
For those of us who follow other state Alerts. don’t bother traveling to Seattle to see the rare Ross’s Gull. A Bald Eagle ate it!!! See Jon Hougton’s post on eBird WA alerts for photograph of the gull being carried off. Sorry not in Idaho but case of truth being stranger than fiction!!
