I’m pretty sure I have a Winter Wren. See video in checklist. Still researching but wanted to get it out there for comment. Details for finding it are in the checklist. Please respond with your thoughts.http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S41618272
Also present was the Golden-crowned Sparrow found on the Christmas Bird Count, 2 Pacific Wrens, a Marsh Wren and a Red-breasted Merganser.

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!

I was surprised to see a Northern Mockingbird at Celebration Park on the Snake River near Melba, Idaho on Jan 1, 2018. It was hanging out in the Russian olive trees on the river bank just upstream from the Guffey bridge.
I’ve attached a photo.

Hi Robert,The birds you saw today at Wilson’s are all domestic breeds. The duck looks like a Black Swedish. I’m thinking the goose is a Super African or a Super African hybrid due to the pink bill. Wilson’s has two other goose breeds that are white and one other Super African. There are also a few other domestic duck breeds too.
Hope this answers your question.Kristin A.

There is currently a golden-crowned sparrow at the Auger Falls basin
parking lot in Snake a river Canyon. This is the furthest parking area into
the area at the end of auger Falls rd. I found the bird last night and it’s
super easy to find this morning. Right along the road by the parking lot.
Good birding,

Hey Bill,
I found someone out-of-state who’ll trade you 30 turkeys for 30 grosbeaks, even with the higher shipping and handling costs of turkeys! 😉

I saw a single Rosy Finch this morning in the huge Evening Grosbeak flock.
By the way, I’m running a sale on Evening Grosbeaks, minimum order 30. I can’t guarantee delivery, but I’ll put in a word for you.

An immature N Goshawk was seen in Boise’s Hulls Gulch area high up in some poplars west of the lower parking lot (close to trail #35A-Red-winged blackbird trail). It was there at about 10:30 this morning, but upon coming back to the area an hour later it had apparently moved.
