Good morning IBLE!
Recent first-of-season birds in our eBird patch (Boise River Greenbelt)
include:
Ducks – Cinnamon and Green-winged Teal, Ruddy Duck
Raptors – Merlin, Sharp-shined and Coopers Hawk, whereas Osprey and
Swainson’s have all but evaporated
Greater Yellow-legs, Red-naped Sapsucker, Cassin’s Vireo
Swallows – thought to have departed our patch, yesterday we encountered a
foraging frenzy of hundreds: Barn, Tree, and Violet-green
Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Pine Siskin
Warblers – Yellow hasn’t been here for a while; in their place have been
Orange-crowned, Yellow-rump, and Wilson’s
Evening Grosbeak – two in our neighbor’s tree yesterday, nice and vocal!
=)
Happy Autumn!!!
Larry and Missy
