The first female showed up in my yard today in South Meridian and so far we have fewer males than we ever have had. Ruthann Greene

We've been having a male Spotted Towhee coming to our feeders off and on for the last three weeks or so. Shouldn't they be gone by now? I've never had one stick around so long. Ruthann Greene South si

Thanks for all the info. Now I understand why I have Robins. One crabapple tree and three large Russian Olives are in the yard and the Robins were spotted by the crabapple. Ruthann

I just saw two male Robins in my yard and know that it is not that unusual for them to be here in the winter, but it leaves me with the question...what do they eat in the winter? Ruthann Greene South

Yup, I saw it right across the street from Bear Creek. Is it unusual to see them so far from the river? From: Robert Mortensen To: Ruthann Greene Cc: "ible@..." Sent: Tuesday, December 18,

I just spotted a Bald Eagle eating lunch in a field near Roaring Springs in South Meridian. I thought I saw an Eagle in this area last year, but never got a good look. I am surprised to see one so far

I also had a Spotted Towhee this morning in South Meridian. Ruthann Greene

I wasn't sure if the Black Chins were back, or it was just that the hummers don't like my new style feeder. I placed it in the same location as the old one used last year, but haven't seen any hummers

I found another egg...looks like duck..unbroken near our wood shed. You suggestion of a fox is a very good one. The eggs in the photograph looked like they were in an indentation, but why two birds wo

I am sorry I didn't put my location. I live just South of Meridian, ID in a rural/transitional area. And yes, we do have Pheasants here. Ruthann

While weeding my garden, I came across a nest on the ground with two or three types of eggs. Two very large eggs that are grayish and two eggs that are smaller that are white with brown spots and one

Thanks for the info, Heidi. I will certainly tell her about the red dye..I know she wouldn't want to hurt her hummers. The problem really is she is doing nothing different this year than she every has

I have a friend in Coos Bay, OR who usually has lots of Annas and Rufous coming to her feeders. This year she has fewer, but the real mystery is that the ones that come sit on the feeder for a second

I don't think it was a Orange-crowned Warbler, but probably the Common Yellowthroat. I got a very close look at it as it was just outside my window in a bush.

Just saw a small yellow and olive green bird with white eye ring outside my kitchen window. Looking at my Sibley's the closest I can come are either a first year yellow throat or first year wilson's w

probably 10 to 12

I don't think they were cranes, but it is possible they were Ibises. What I saw was a medium sized bird that was a dark color, smaller than a heron and with shorter legs than a heron. The beak did not

Is it unusual to see a flock of cormorants flying in V formation this time of year? Ruthann
