Alan and I are picking up Rich Hoyer and heading for the Western Field Ornithologists annual meeting in Boise, Idaho, so posts may be less frequent for the next couple of weeks. But stay tuned!
The WFO meeting is a special one––their 40th anniversary. Alan is one of the six founders of the organization. The Idaho Bird Observatory is hosting the meeting. We’re looking forward to reunions with many long-time birding friends––plus, hopefully, an encounter with Idaho’s newly described South Hills Crossbill, expected to become a split from Red Crossbill.
