Seller’s Jay

Just went outside, between rain bands, to refill platform feeder & heard a familiar call. Looked over at juniper trees & a very vocal Stellar’s Jay was working through the trees. Only the second time I’ve seen one at our river location. 
 
Yesterday, the best bird was a 1st winter White-throated Sparrow. Lots of Trumpeter Swans flying over, as well. Kept track yesterday & counted 216.

There has been a significant influx or
irruption of Vermilion Flycatchers to higher-than-usual
latitudes, this fall (going back to at least October),
from the Great Lakes region (northern Wisconsin, western
Pennsylvania, Ontario, Ohio) to central Quebec, the
north coast of California, and in the interior west
(Loveland Colorado, Provo Utah).  And this arrival
timing, in late fall, is consistent with previous Idaho
records (November 2022 in Salmon, late October 2019 in
Nampa).  So, while this is an exciting record, it fits
an established pattern and is hard to attribute to a
particular weather event (though the overall pattern may
well reflect climate change).

Good Luck to any chasers and Good Birding,

Wow! That’s exciting!. It must have blown north
in the big storm that brought warm air from the
Southwest.

Male Vermillion Flycatcher is at a
private residence but owners are fine with
birders coming.  You can park in the driveway as
it is a loop. Homeoner’s names are Paige &
Tucker.
