A Townsend’s Solitaire made an appearance at 5pm today. It flew from the
yard fence to the driveway fence and perched long enough for me to get
binocs on it for a good look. I’ve only seen them a few times in my yard
and am happy for each sighting.

Finally got some shots of the Red-naped continuing at Morris Hill Cemetery.
Yesterday, found a group of over 700 Bohemian Waxwings along the aspen trees near the Sun Valley Music Pavilion. Also, a Peregrine Falcon south of Hailey.
Back home today and best birds were a group of 15, quite vocal, Trumpeter Swans in a fly-over. Also, 3 Red-tailed Hawks, one Harlan’s & a Rough-legged Hawk.

It took 2 hours and lots of walking, but I eventually relocated the
continuing PALM WARBLER at Mann Lake, east of Lewiston on Saturday
morning. It was on the outer edge of the willows and other dense
vegetation that rings the lake a couple hundred meters beyond the end of
the model airplane area (traveling clockwise around the lake), near and
beyond the row of Junipers. It was not very cooperative during this
encounter, but it called many times from the thicket and allowed me a
glimpse as it flew away. Full list, details, and exact coordinates of
where it was seen are on eBird:

The Palm Warbler has been present at this location since I found it on
Thanksgiving day (at least). Other uncommon birds included a continuing
American Tree Sparrow and a small flock of Common Redpolls in one of the
Birch groves.
Good Birding,

Hi Tom McCabe,
I looked for that Eurasian Wigeon for a good 45 minutes at Ann Morrison Park. No luck this time but I know it’s there somewhere.
Nice running into you!

Howdy,
Today there was a Spotted Towhee at the feeder by the river. Other birds present were BCCH, MOCH, AMGO, HOFI, RBNU, DEJU & RBME on the river.
The reservoir is opening up, at least near the dam.
Good Birding!
