As I said, crazy. 3 miles or so west of rock thrush along marine drive, me driving back to i205. Flew very strongly, 2 or more times the bulk of american kestrel, turned very sharply right in front of the car Reddish back, wings coming to a sharp point, in its crazy sharp turn, as in the attached macaulay library photo. I have experience with this bird years ago in nw WA state at a staked out bird there for many days.
Recognized this one immediately. Absolutely nothing else possible.
Believe it or, NOT. As you choose.
Drove back and forth that stretch many times afterward, but nothing more
Not my photo attached, me inside the moving car.

For those who don't do Discord, the Blue Rock-Thrush was still be seen up to and a little after 6:00PM. From what I can glean from the most recent images (the east end of Hayden Island is easily discerned) and where folks are saying it is, the location is a little west of 33rd and Marine Drive (I think). It is along the shoreline near Buoy #2.

Suspect this bird comes through more regularly during their Fall migration than I'm aware. But, unless making its varied, chattering call, I rarely see it.

Just had a Yellow-breasted Chat come through, working its way through the understory of willow bushes. Its larger size, olive back & bright yellow breast in the sunlight, caught my eye. Completely silent as it came through. Down to just occasional singles of Fall migrants now.

We've seen chickadees at the hummingbird feeders, assumed they were going after insects.

Speaking of... we still have some (or maybe the same one?) hummingbirds coming to our feeder here, east of Pocatello, Moonlight Mine area.

Correct, haven't seen a California Scrub Jay in E ID. So, this one was a Woodhouse's Jay. That's my bad. Knew they had been officially split, but I always called the interior version "Western" & the other "California", before the official designation. That was fault of my old ornithology prof, those were his designations. He predicted the "Western" would eventually be split, long before it became official.

Thanks for the reminder!

Subject: [IBLE] Pulled the Hummingbird Feeder
Pulled the hummingbird feeder this AM. Activity had stopped. Correspondence with a naturalist in Colorado found that they experienced a noticeable decrease at their feeders, this Fall, too. And, are near pulling theirs, as well.

What I lost in hummingbird activity though, seems to have been more than compensated by Spotted Towhee activity, this season! I've counted no fewer than 25 on the place today. One group, back in the woods, had at least 8 birds. In the yard, have counted 5 at a time, in separate groups. Must have had a really successful hatch season this yr.

Think it must have been this summer's excessive heat, combined with wildfires, that disrupted usual migration corridors. Aug into first couple wks of Sept has been really good, past few Falls, for Rufous & Calliope Hummingbirds coming through. Haven't seen a single Calliope & the handful of Rufous came thru in July. I've seen a single juv female Black-chinned past few days. About ready to just pull my feeder.

They are heading off. Last week was nine feeders, this week much less. We’ll be down to one feeder partially full today. Only chickadees and goldfinches now on sunflowers.

Subject: [IBLE] Bypass
Looks as if Fall migration is simply passing me by. Seemingly overnight, Gray Catbirds are gone, down to 1 or 2 BH Grosbeaks & 1 juv BC Hummingbird. Yellow Warblers, Bullock's Orioles, W Tanagers...all gone. Zero Calliope & Broad-tailed Hummers. A few Rufous mid-July, zero since. Had 5-6 Western Wood-Pewees, up until today, overnight...gone.

Largest number of platform feeder birds are now House Finches & BC Chickadees. Will see what next few wks brings.
