I’ve had an Orange-crowned Warbler in my backyard for the past several weeks and she has been to all my feeders including the suet.

Re: Owl in fireplace
Larry, I checked out your eBird checklist and saw the Orange-crowned warbler mentioned coming to your suet feeder. I’ve been putting/smearing Bark Butter on bark of a tree in our yard. This morning I noticed an Orange-crowned warbler pecking at it along with juncos. They need/like that fat!

Re: Snow Buntings
Arrrgh! Spell check. Meant.. Didn’t see any Longspurs…
Snow Buntings
No guarantees for re-locating, if one takes a drive to find, but have seen sev large groups of Snow Buntings in past wk. One group of about 30 was just north of Challis on Hwy 93, west side of road. And, yest 3 good-sized groups on Hwy 26 between Arco & Craters. One group had at least 100 birds. The groups have been “flighty” &, unlike Horned Larks, not keen on returning immediately to roadside, often setting down 50 yds + off hwy & then just, taking off. All have been in fields with open expanses of snow coverage. Didn’t see any Larkspurs, wind was brutal & difficult to stay focused on any one bird. Wouldn’t surprise me if some were present though.

Many thanks. Fantastic photo.
Re: leucistic red tail hawk
One month ago, I observed a leucistic red-tailed hawk in the hills east of Ammon. It was hunting the stubble fields on the edge of the new developments and was easy to see on power poles and fence poles. It hung around for two days and I haven’t seen it since. Interesting to have so many sightings in one year. A coincidence?
