Thx Peggy! Guessing Mike had already corrected it to RNSA by the time you checked eBird? If I try to enter a sapsucker of any sp hereabouts at this time of year, it’s not on the list of expected sp, IOW it’s a write-in that needs verifying, so I can understand how a misnomer might be entered. If I look at the bar charts for Ada County, however, I see one accepted entry for YBSA at IBO Lucky Peak in 2001 (IOW, it’s still “rare” at any time of year), whereas RNSA appears to be trending less and less rare here as an over-wintering sp. This trend has happened just recently, i.e., mostly since we moved here five yrs ago. Coincidentally, we had been experiencing a similar “recent” trend in W Colorado during our 15 yrs there, most often found during CBC efforts.

If you click on the “Checklist” for this eBird listing, it lists the bird as a Red-naped Sapsucker. His comment says he was looking for a yellow-bellied Sapsucker. I don’t understand why eBird sent an alert about a Yellow-bellied???

Birders,
How is this a “continued sighting?” Are there other photos and discussion on Facebook? Has RNSA or a hybrid been discussed and ruled out?
Sincere thanks! =)

Presumably a recording/naming error? Looks like the same adult male Red-naped that several of us saw yesterday.

G’morning birders,

We’ve tried just about everything to prevent window strikes by our feeder
birds, but when an accipiter storms the back yard, the smallish frenzied
birds go every which way, slamming into each other and into windows. I’d
say that 80% of them recover and soon toodle off to one of our brush piles
or other dense cover. Yesterday’s casualty was a siskin that didn’t
recover, so I parked it on the magpie peanut tray. It was soon recycled by
one of our 25 magpies.

Our typical daily count from our yard (Big Sit! idea) has been about 20 sp,
in part because we have a duck pond across the street and mature cottonwoods
in view from our back yard that offer good views for raptors. GH Owls are
counter-calling as I write this…

Toppermost birding all y’all,

Larry

If you click on the “Checklist” for this eBird listing, it lists the bird
as a Red-naped Sapsucker. His comment says he was looking for a
yellow-bellied Sapsucker. I don’t understand why eBird sent an alert about
a Yellow-bellied???

Howdy,
Yesterday afternoon I spotted a young Iceland Gull (Thayer’s race”) on the Snake River below the cemetery in American Falls. It was all light tan, including the wing tips.
Good Birding!

Always forward, never straight…

Yesterday I found a pack of Crows harassing a Red-tailed Hawk in the same
vicinity that I found a Peregrine on 3 occasions last week. I was about to
turn around when I thought I should check the tree where the Peregrine had
been. Lo and behold, there was an Osprey on the exact same perch the
Peregrine had used. The tree with the Osprey is right at the river end of
50th St. in Garden City, near a side channel of the river that harbors a lot
of Mallards. In fact, the assisted living facility right there is named
“Mallard Point.”

So when I cruised by the same location today, I was looking hard. My reward
was the Osprey again, this time midway between 50th and 51st. He was on the
river side of the island created by the Mallard side channel. But by the
time I came by on my return trip, 20 minutes later, he was gone.

This is the same general location where a few weeks ago I saw a Bald Eagle
in the middle of the river with a fish too big to carry off.

Today’s tally included 2 Cooper’s Hawks, 2 Red-tails, a Bald Eagle (at ESP),
and the Osprey. Final total was 36 birds in 14 miles. Another great day,
although a bit cold.

There haven’t been many birds around for awhile, but this morning, a large flock of Pine Siskins, American Goldfinches, and Dark-eyed Juncos descended on my yard.
The predominant species was the one I would least expect – Pine siskins. I counted over 30! I don’t believe I have ever seen that large of a siskin flock in my lifetime.
Winter is coming… we still have snow on the ground up here in Horseshoe Bend… Happy Holidays everyone! Jonathan Barnett

I wanted to pass this video along since I was surprised at the similarity in flight patterns between Long-eared and Short-eared Owls. I’d never seen a LEOW in flight in the open until this week. I thought the flight of the SEOW was unique.
I thought I had a SEOW (rare) at Eagle Island SP in Ada County earlier this week until I was asked if I had considered LEOW. I ran across the following video. 
It flew across the field with a Cooper’s Hawk harassing it (explaining the unusual behavior of LEOW flying during the day). It then disappeared into the Russian Olives (unusual for SEOW) until Magpies notified me of its presence. I got a brief look but just enough to know it wasn’t a Barn Owl. I noticed it had dark comma-shaped marks near the wrist of the underwing but LEOW and SEOW have this. 
I wanted to pass this along to help others not make the same mistake. You won’t run across this very often. It makes me wonder if I misidentified SEOW one early morning at Blacks Creek a couple years ago now knowing this.
There’s always something new to learn in the birding world!
