This morning, Sept 1st, I still have at least one Black-chinned Hummingbird
at my feeders just east of Idaho Falls.

FYI, for those thinking of going over

The Swallow-tailed Gull is not at Carkeek now with the gulls. If it doesn’t show up here it’s almost certainly with another gull roost around Puget Sound so be on the lookout anywhere. I’ll update if it shows up here in the next half hour or so.
Good birding,

Is anyone going to chase the Swallow-tailed Gull?

Three of us made our obligatory annual pilgrimage to Brockman’s hummingbird
feeding station (Twin Falls County, South Hills, along FR 500) last Friday,
25 August, and estimated there were still 200+ hummers there, of four
species, in this decreasing order of abundance: BC, RU, BT, and CA.

At our humfeeders here in west Boise we still have 3-4 juvie BC this
morning, and our last observed dates are (so far this season): CA 25 Aug,
RU 27 Aug, and adult male BC 28 Aug. The Ada County eBird bar charts
suggest we could continue seeing these three sp through the end of
September, but we rarely do. During the last two years, Anna’s began
showing up at our salvias in mid-Sept. =)

I just got a call from Darren that they saw it again this morning.

Nice find Hilary! Great pix Darren!

Is anyone having luck re-finding this bird? Is anyone twitching/looking for it?

Thanks, Larry, Boise

There’s a Great Crested Flycatcher at Camas NWR. It’s in the row of trees that go east/west about 1/4 mile west of headquarters (locally known as redstart lane). I’ll post pics and more details when I have a better connection.

I forgot to include Yellow-rumped Warblers on my list; the first I’ve seen at the park for some time.
No hummingbirds lately. We only saw one at our feeder and that was a while back. The wind blew it down a couple of days ago and we haven’t gotten it back up yet.

  My direction, I’ve seen: Warbling Vireo, MacGillivray’s & Wilson’s Warblers and Red-breasted Nuthatches. Also, Red-naped Sapsucker. Wondering if you’re seeing anymore hummingbirds, Wendy? Mine appear to have left. Haven’t seen any Rufous or Black-chinned in 2 days.

Forwarding from Darren Clark on Facebook, Great Crested Flycatcher
confirmed at Camas NWR (1st state record):

“Hilary Turner

notified
me yesterday that she found a Myiarchus Flycatcher at Camas NWR (Jefferson
County). She had a very brief look and didn’t get enough of a look to
identify it. I went out this morning and located the bird and it was a bit
more accommodating. Turns out it’s a Great Crested Flycatcher (first Idaho
record). The bird was in the row of Olive/Willow/Cottonwood trees that run
east/west and parallel camas creek about 1/4 mile west of headquarters.”
