I found it very strange to see a PIWA associating with 4 EABL in that same field where the mountain bluebird was discovered. The bird was working the snow fence, following the lead of the EABL's. Not only is the time of year strange, but so is the habitat.
Given all of the recent finds, I made sure to gather all of the pertinent field marks of the PIWA. It sure feels like spring but I was not expecting to see that today. The bird was last seen toward the east end of the field near the yellow farm equipment.
