New blog name..
Even though about 8 people read my blog, I've decided it needs a name. Considering that every day off I've had in a long time, in addition to work, has included birds in some way...I've decided to name my blog "Speed Birding." I've been consistently employed or worked as a volunteer since graduating in 2007 on 14 different jobs involving bird work (by choice). Alex is sitting next to me entering everything we've seen on E-bird ("E-bird....because birds can't count themselves"), and we are planning a trip to see a Sharp-tailed Grouse Lek on Sunday on our next day off. I'm pretty sure this isn't how most people spend a Friday night.

That sounds like what my wife and I do on a Friday night. I must admit I get a bit jealous hearing about all the spectacular birds you've seen here in the Boise area already, quite a few that I haven't seen yet this year and I'm out birding 4 or 5 days a week!
ReplyDeleteWell 4 or 5 days a week is pretty awesome also and I think classifies as speed birding! Maybe we will cross paths while I am here! Our current target species is Bohemian Waxwing...but I'm afraid with this warm weather today, we may have missed our chance. A few were on Warm Springs on the green belt but we didn't find them the one night we checked, which was only one night after they were seen there.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good place to look for them. I've seen them out on Warm Springs near Harris Ranch, but the last time I've seen Bohemians was probably a month ago. Good luck!
