Super cool news,
Right now there is a Pacific loon among a couple hundred common loons above
the dam. Also, 7 scoters:

5 Surf Scoter
1 White-winged Scoter
1 Black Scoter

The scoters are all associating together right at the dam. Viewable easily
from the little gravel “spit” that borders the highway there on the
reservoir side.

Just to add to the conversation about alternatives to MOB, we launched Montana eBird last year which is a portal within eBird that we manage that has Montana specific information on bird studies, citizen science volunteer opportunities, general info, bird photos/videos/sound recordings, and bird sightings (you can see Montana rarities at the bottom of the page).

All you need to do is add “/mt” to the end of the eBird url:
www.ebird.org/mt

Hope you find this useful,

A WHITE-THROATED SPARROW was at the spooky abandoned Syringa Trailer Park
ponds, east of Moscow in Latah County, this morning. From the SW corner of
the ponds, look west to the blue and white trailer. The sparrow was in the
shrub on the east side of that trailer. Not much on the ponds except a
handful of American Wigeon.

Good Birding,

Looked hard twice mid-day and late afternoon. Great Blue Heron, Double-crested Cormorant, Wood Ducks, Hooded Merganser, Mallard with blow dart in head, turtles etc. etc. but no Green heron.

So glad to hear you found the Green Heron. I’ll have to look harder tomorrow. 😉

Just a note to say that the Green Heron is still at Esther Simplot Park in Boise at the west end of the west lake (following the dirt path).

hey, Tom McCabe! it was so fun to meet you there today.

Boise at the west end of the west lake (following the dirt path).

hey, Tom McCabe! it was so fun to meet you there today.

Most of my fall visitors have left, including the Cassin’s Finches. But
today I got a quick glimpse of a White-breasted Nuthatch on our fence, just
before it went over into the neighbor’s yard. A number of years ago they
were all along the river for most of the winter. I hadn’t seen or heard one
in several years until one called to me along the river about a week ago. So
it was quite a treat to see one in our back yard.

Plus, I got to see the Green Heron at Esther Simplot Park today. I ran into
RL and he told me one had been sighted. So we were talking about the fact
that others had been unable to find the bird today, when suddenly the
gorgeous critter decided to fly out over the back pond, almost to the other
side, and then return back to the west side of the pond. Another treat!
