Hi all,
Spent over 2 hours this morning looking but no luck. It was “birdier”
closer to Sandy Point, where the paved walking trail enters the south end
of the park. All the birds that were reported hanging out with the Magnolia
were there but couldn’t find the rare visitor. Quite a few birders out,
didn’t hear of anyone sighting the Magnolia today. Good luck to those
searching. Made a quick check at Foote Park as well.

[IBLE] Moving away from Yahoo
While Cliff and I come up with a solution to this, note that yahoogroups emails are taking up to a day, sometimes more, to make it to the list. Since this isn’t useful for getting the word out on unusual observations, we will be moving quickly to find another host.

[IBLE] Possible Frigatebird, somewhat close to Idaho
For those of you that don’t get OBOL postings, the morning buzz is the possibility of a frigatebird along the Columbia. It was seen between Arlington and Biggs, flying between I-84 and the railroad tracks. It was reported as: “It was a pelagic bird that was uniformly dark brown all over, had a five foot wingspan, a fairly long tail, a heavy stout bill that came down to a point. The wings at the elbow came back at a fairly Sharp angle from the rest of the wing and had pointed wing tips. The body looked like a long torpedo shape.”
Again, this is only a POSSIBLE, unconfirmed sighting at this time, but in case there are people feeling close enough to the general area to go take a look, I thought I’d forward.

[IBLE] Ovenbird in Boise
Hi IBLE,
Hopefully this post comes through? I just got a batch of Magnolia Warbler posts from a few days ago that didn’t get to me until this morning.
As many have seen on eBird and Facebook, we have an Ovenbird currently coming to our house and a number of birders have been able to see it. Location/info here: eBird Checklist – 1 Nov 2019 – Bitteroot House – 2 species (+1 other taxa)
For those who would like to see it, all are welcome to come any time.
We’d like to stress that if you would like to see the bird it is best to stay quiet and best to view from inside your vehicles. When there was a lot of birder activity this morning the bird was not spotted for about 2 hours. Once birders moved into their cars and kept voices down it’s been seen twice in the span of about half an hour, each time the junco flock comes in.
The bird is coming to the bark chips and leaves by our front door where we have some rosemary and lavender planted. It comes in with the neighborhood flock of juncos. Best viewing is from near the street corner by the fire hydrant or the entrance to our driveway.
Good birding all!~Heidi and JayBoise

[IBLE] Magnolia Warbler still at Discovery Park
Seen this afternoon near the far shelter in the deciduous trees between the shelter and Sandy Point sign. In with a mixed flock of creepers, kinglets, yellow rumps and chickadees.
Thanks Jordan Ragsdale for spotting it.
Lifer and state bird, whoop, whoop. 🙌

Denise, thanks for the update. I hope it found a cozy evergreen or cavity in which to spend the night. The temperature will need to warm a lot for the Vermillion to find insects flying around!

IBLErs,
A young male VERMILION FLYCATCHER was reported to eBird, today, from the Kingfisher Trail at Deer Flat NWR in Canyon County. All the currently available information (including photos) is contained in this eBird checklist: [ https://ebird.org/checklist/S61006099 | https://ebird.org/checklist/S61006099 ] .
There is one previous sight record for Idaho (January 2005 near Bonners Ferry), which the IBRC found not acceptable.. This will likely become the first fully-documented and IBRC-endorsed record for Idaho (pending acceptance).
Simply passing along this information. Additional details are likely to appear on Facebook (group: Idaho Bird Sightings and Discussion), and hopefully here on IBLE.
Good Luck and Good Birding!
