Thx for this reminder, Cliff. We’ve seen Sabine’s at the smallest puddles imaginable along the Colorado River in W Colorado, as well as along the river itself.

A couple FOS species are at our feeders this morning: Pine Siskin and Cassin’s Finch, several of each. And two Evening Grosbeaks continue in our hood.

Hey Tom, are you seeing new/FOS birds at your feeders in N Boise? Anyone else?

Thanks again Julie for sharing your Brown Thrasher with our birding Community. Nice find! =)

And thank you Cheryl for posting my plovers yesterday! That was a strange observation, since there were no Killdeer present.

Good boid’n folks!

Subject: [IBLE] Late Report / Sabine’s Gull in Teton County

Sorry for the late post (I didn’t have internet access until late last
night) but I saw a juvenile Sabine’s Gull on the Teton River about 1/4
mile upstream from the Bates Bridge. It was walking on the bank and
swimming around eating insects (there were lots of small mayflies on the
water) and allowed very close approach of the boat and great views. This
is the second Sabine’s I’ve seen away from regular locations at
reservoirs (one was flying down the Henry’s Fork at Seeley’s several
years ago in a flock of other gulls) so they’re probably worth watching
for anywhere during migration.
