[IBLE] Siphon Rd wetlands Sunday

I visited the spring fed, Portneuf River wetlands along Siphon Rd
(Chubbuck) Sunday morning. Open water is still holding a very nice
diversity of waterfowl, including about 40 trumpeter swans, mallards,
American wigeon, gadwall, northern pintail (1), northern shoveler (3),
green-winged teal, redhead, lesser scaup, bufflehead, common goldeneye and
150+ ring-necked ducks.

This location holds half-hardy species in the winter and I was able to find
3 yellow-rumped warbler (Audubon’s), 2 Virginia rail and a marsh wren.

Several of us are getting great looks and sounds from Winter Wren along Boise River near where Jason saw it yesterday. First seen across from fishing platform and moved upstream toward benches.

on the christmas bird count a few years back, Ben Brock and I saw a couple in the bushes there by that fishing platform (south side of river). That area might be a spot for them. Thinking we should keep an eye out for them going forward.

Re: [IBLE] Winter Wren? – Ada

Sounds and looks good for Winter Wren! On this bird it seems like you can
actually see a brighter supercilium and paler underparts as opposed to less
prominent supercilium and overall uniformly dark brown underparts as in
Pacific Wren.
Right on,

[IBLE] Camas NWR Roosting Eagles

The annual winter gathering of roosting Bald Eagles is well underway at
Camas Refuge. Currently about 30 eagles can be seen in the cottonwood rows
next to refuge headquarters. These birds can be easily viewed from the
public road, even while staying in the warmth of your car.

Please do not disturb the eagles or spoil the viewing opportunities of
others by walking or driving past the Area Closed signs.

Thank you and enjoy!
