Two adults and two fledglings still perching on snag at west end of lake

Sent from my iPad.

Hiked about half way up Bald Mountain in SV from the Warm Springs side yesterday. Overall very quiet with long stretches of 0 birds, but I did have a few nice finds including Calliope Hummer, Cordilleran, Dusky, & Hammond’s Flycatchers, & a single Orange-crowned Warbler.
Good birding,

Had my first female Calliope Hummingbird of the season visit the nectar feeder this AM. Along with adult male & female, and now, juvenile Black-chinneds, the feeder is getting a lot of use.

Black-headed Grosbeaks are still coming into the seed feeder. And, had a bumper crop of Lazuli Buntings hatched on the place this summer. Walked through a native grass/sagebrush area adjoining our Sainfoin wildlife food plot & scared up at least 20 Lazulis, about 3/4 were juveniles.

Subject: [IBLE] IBLE] Purple Martins at Lake Cleveland – still there

We arrived about 10:40 this morning and immediately saw the male adult flying around the area. Shortly after, we found the adult female and finally the two fledglings flew in and returned to the nest hole.

We watched them be fed multiple times in the nest hole and then they both flew out. We also saw them be fed on multiple snags nearby.

We left about 12:40 and they were still in the area.

Thanks for all the previous information on their location.
