[IBLE] Grasshopper Sparrows & Poorwills (Ada)

 

I found an easy place to get Grasshopper Sparrows in the Boise foothills. See checklist for details: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36725626

If you walk back in the dark you can hear the Common Poorwills but watch out for Rattlesnakes. I was walking back in the dark and  thought I better turn on my flashlight just in case. I rarely see them but I did last night eventually. See video in checklist. If snakes make you skittish, you can listen to the Poorwills from Cartwright Road. Although that’s where I about stepped on one getting out of my truck in the dark.
You can also see a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher on the way that hangs out at Currant Creek Trailhead http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36724079
Good birding!
