TheBirdSpot Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I need help with these ones... the first images were taken last week and the third image was taken today. Both seen near Boise, Idaho. Please let me know if you can help ID these birds... sorry for the bad photos. THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeker Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 All look like Eastern Phoebe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The first bird doesn't look like an Eastern Phoebe to me (maybe a Say's?), but the last one does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Eastern Phoebe in Idaho? I know the birds don't read their own range maps, but eBird shows only a few dozen or so in Idaho in the last decade, none since 2016. Only a handful have been seen west of the Rockies this year, all in CA or AZ. I'm not saying they're not EAPH, just raising the issue.

TheBirdSpot Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I got a video of it's call and checked today. The first one is definitely a Say's Phoebe based on the call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdbrain22 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I agree with Say's Phoebe for the first and Eastern Phoebe for the second bird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Friedman Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 If Eastern Phoebes are that rare in Idaho, I'd say it's worth reporting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
