Thanks for the heads up. I made it down to Veterans Park in Boise between rain squalls, and there it was, hopping about up high with the chickadees, kinglets, and downies.

What city is Veterans Park in?

Driving around near Heise found this pasture  with RBGulls coming and going. What could they possibly be feeding on in an 80 foot circle?  Couldn’t see them actually picking up anything. Over 100 on center pivot and another 40-50 picking through the breast high grass. Other than that best bird was couple of Townsend Solitaire. 

A fair number of Trumpeters overwinter along the Snake River of SE ID. I’ve seen groupings with 30+ birds & 5-6 groups at a time grazing along neighbor’s winter wheat field. His ground is back in winter wheat, so should attract Trumpeters, as soon as the snow flies. The Tundras mainly flyover & numerous numbers at night, as David Pace responded. I enjoy listening to their “flyover chatter” on a cold, crisp night!
