Cheryl,
Thx for your heads-up about THE DIP!
that thing could have swallowed our Prius, as in *poof* gone!
and thx for a perfect description of where to park and search for THE BIRD,
which Missy and I found by following it’s voice (0610 hrs),
and we soon found it singing atop a sunflower,
just past the large dead tree (shaped like a Black Cottonwood?),
all on the left side of the road, walking westward less than 150 yds from THE DIP.
and Yes, thank you Karen for this nice find!!

is what my tee shirt says, free from my dentist’s office since I had no cavities.
A toppermost morning on the planet – state lifer and no cavities! Sweet deal 😉

Just refound the indigo bunting reported earlier today at Ft Boise in canyon co. I used the coordinates with this mornings checklist and bird was right there singing. And it still is! I parked just after crossing the bridge- watch for the dip!- and walked a little west with trees on both sides! Thank you Karen Knoling!

This just hit my eBird rare bird alert. I probably won’t head out for it tonight but I’m very interested to hear updates if others go looking.
