Leucistic Robin and other birds

I got a call from a lady that told me her daughter had a strange robin in her year.  I went visiting and found the robin, common Grackle and some Yellow-rumped warblers.  It was a fun hour.  Here the leucistic robin harvests a worm for the lawn

Yellow-rumped warblers were every where; in the trees, on the rocks, on the lawn and on the road.

The day before I found these two male turkeys chasing two females near the Henrys Fork of the Snake River.

Last Saturday I caught some sage grouse displaying on the top of a ridge.  I am visiting that same place tomorrow morning with a friend.

Just a few days in the Wilds of Idaho.

Snow again

After the heat in Alabama, I was glad to get back to the coolness of Idaho - but not this cool!!!

I had to go to Island Park to deliver fishing flies to several businesses and it snowed on me all day.  I did find a few birds braving the cold and picking hatching flies of the water like this Yellow Warbler.

A flock of Yellow-rumped warblers as the snow fell near Staley Springs.

On the way home, I even found a few Glacier lilies blooming in the forest.

Even with the cold, it was a great day in the wilds of Idaho.
