It is a perfect textbook shot for showing the differences between the two.

Fabulous photo, Linda. I saw my first Ross’s this year as well but could only get marginal photos.

Yellow-headed Blackbird
A fairly easy bird to find bird, but always a treat to discover. I saw these Yellow-headed Blackbirds hanging out with a few Red-winged Blackbirds in a half-acre stand of cattails in a drainage ditch along Old Highway 30 in Elmore County yesterday.

Mann Lake
I birded Mann Lake near Lewiston, I’D yesterday and was treated to an up close and personal view of my first confirmed Ross’s goose in amongst approximately 150 snow geese. Also spotted were a pair of Says Phoebes, a pair of pintails, 4 Green-winged Teals, 6 Lesser Scaups, an Osprey, and an American Water Pipit, We Also spotted several Horned Larks and a Chukar on the 480 road. Coming from Priest River where the migration seems exceptionally slow, it was great to see something!

Spring delights
The birds were cooperative on my ride today, but there were a couple of FOY treats that deserve broadcasting. First, I had a flyover of White Pelicans (about 8) while I was biking along the river. They were in “V” formation, headed downriver. Second, when I got home, I noticed a very bright red finch in one of my tray feeders. I immediately grabbed binos and found a gorgeous Cassin’s Finch. While I was watching, I saw at least 1 more adult male. They came and went over the next several hours. So, keep an eye out!
The Cassin’s brought my tally to 44 species in a little over 12 miles. 😉
