Re: Moving to WA

Over the years I have truly enjoyed your enthusiasm and joy for birding.  It seems we cross paths occasionally and I am always amazed at your ability to identify so many birds by calls and quick glimpses.  Hope your back has healed completely from the surgery and that you are capable of doing all the things you desire.   You will be missed !   Best of luck in your new home!

RS Hawk and WW Crossbill

Morning birders, 

For those interested, late yesterday morning my birding group and I encountered a Red-shouldered Hawk at Grayback Gulch Campground and it was calling and flying towards Idaho City which is a few miles to the north. 
We also had a pair of White-winged Crossbills a little north and east, past Mores Creek Summit at Whoop Em Up Campground.  I haven’t heard of them being expected, so I thought it notable! 
Sharing this for public info and anyone interested in these sightings. 
Good birding,
Austin

Out of Area: Lamoille Canyon Road Closed ; Snowcock Avalanche

Kamilia Canyon Road in the Ruby Mountains, where you go to see Himalayan Snowcock, has been closed as of Sunday by multiple avalanches. This happened while we were in the air, on our way west.

We were told that the decision had not yet been made on reopening the road, and that if they decide to go ahead, it will be at least several months’ work to clear the road, perhaps even a year.

Sorry that this is for a site outside Idaho, where we just were, but I don’t subscribe to the Nevada Listserv, and this species would be relevant to many folks in Idaho This was quite a bummer for a trip that was two years in the planning, but
