Wow, poor little guy/gal, I have on several occasions seen Says phoebe’s as early as very late Feb at Swan Falls area down by the river.
Thanks for the post, Rich Nampa

Re: Say’s Phoebe in Emmett
We’ve had a singleton show up the past few winters. Always a surprise but now seems to be a pattern. We discovered them in pairs, usually, for the first time among our vineyard trellising in summer about 10 years ago, but now they’re present all over our rural neighborhood off Frozen Dog Rd. Still, this winter visitor comes alone.

Say’s Phoebe in Emmett
I was surprised to see a Say’s Phoebe in my Emmett yard this snowy Sunday morning (Jan 12, 2020). They regularly stick around into the late fall, but this is the first time I’ve seen one in January.

3 Blue Jays still coming into feeders. Otherwise, no unusual feeder visitors. N Goshawk moved out of area before Christmas. Great Horned Owls are vocal at night & should be nesting soon. Also, wanted to post & check out new IBLE site!

Memories of Birding Island (Idaho)
Another posting today in my “Bird Destinations” series.
Excerpt:
The meandering of the Payette River has created a broad wetland in the river plain. Not only do cranes, geese, herons, egrets, and waterfowl thrive here, migrating shorebirds visit during their north and southbound journeys in spring and fall. Spring and summer will find flycatchers, warblers and other edge-habitat loving birds here. I have dear friends in Payette who I like to spend time with as often as I can. When there, Birding Island is one place I look forward to visiting.

I do not chase birds as much as I chase places.
I can enjoy the birds I meet, if I enjoy the place I meet them.

Rusty Blackbird in Moscow, ID
Thanks to Mike Scott I was able to spot a Rusty Blackbird in the second sheep pen on the left off of Farm rd at around 1230 pm today. The attached photo is a cell phone shot off of my camera so the quality is not great. The bird was hanging around with a small flock of Brewer’s Blackbirds. The grackle like tail made it stand out at a distance especially with the wind blowing as hard as it was.
Re: N.goshawk
There was a N. Goshawk in a tree above the bridge from the Boise side of the greenbelt to Plantation Island, today. There’s parking nearby, in the Plantation subdivision.
