I have never been to Canyon Hill Cemetery now I have a reason to go. I have been searching many days and hours for a White-throated Sparrow.

In case anyone is interested, Norman Eshoo found an adult White-throated Sparrow at the southeast end of the cemetery below the rim on Wednesday. The Lord allowed me to be able to relocate it yesterday at the same place. After an hour of waiting, I finally saw it foraging beneath the bird feeders on the far side of Mason Creek. The bird had a lighter brown body, a bold white supercilium, yellow lores, and a white throat. After 20 seconds or so, the bird flitted a few feet away to the south. A few minutes later, I heard it giving its high-pitched, slightly trilly “seet” calls. I will post photos on my checklist later today.

Best entry is the one marked with a blue Ted Trueblood Ln. sign, where Shaw Rd. (green st. sign) crosses the MH-Grandview hwy. Watch for the brown Ted Trueblood WMA sign. Takes you to the viewing platform/parking area overlooking the west end of the big pond.
This is the Trueblood Wildlife Area near Grand View, I take it? I live in Mountain Home and drive that way often on the way to Murphy and the Owyhee County Museum. What’s the best entrance way? I ask because I Think there are two marked entrances.
