The hum of hummingbirds a welcome sound in N. Idaho

For the past 15 years that my wife and I have lived in North Idaho we have enjoyed the wildlife of Boundary County including the migration of many birds. One of our favorite migrating bird is the hummingbird. Last May 1, we heard the welcoming humming helicopter sound of small wings by our west kitchen window. Fortunately the feeder was full and the hummingbird became busy eating the nectar. We don’t know if it was one of the same hummingbirds that had been to our property last year, but we would like to think so. Some studies and some scientist believe many hummingbirds return season after season to the same nesting and feeding area.

Hall wins University Men's Freestyle National Championships

Yet at the end of each collegiate season, Hall could not compete in freestyle due to injuries. After taking fifth at both the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Team Trials, he received one more chance. Having been a college student this past year (graduate school), not turning 28 years old before January 1, and being injury-free, Hall found himself eligible to compete in the University Men’s Freestyle National Championships in Akron, Ohio. Wrestling at 70 kg (154 lb.), his plan was to dominate and win the tournament. Wrestling in a field of 93 competitors, Hall quickly ended each match by tech fall, outscoring his opponents 74-1, including Matt Leshinger (NYC RTC), 11-0, Joe Galasso (Cornell University), 10-0, Alfred Bannister (Terrapin WC), 12-1, and Logan Ryan (University of Iowa), 10-0.

Unless the deer is feeding in our vegetable garden or in flowerbeds that we have worked hard to create, we don’t have reason for concern.

Ospreys return to area river banks

Recently I was traveling west of the Boundary County fair-grounds when a bird attracted my attention, not only because of its size but the fact he was carrying a tree branch nearly three feet long and was having a time negotiating with the branch in flight. Because of the rare sight I slowed my vehicle and watch him fly west along the Kootenai River and land on a pole holding a huge nest on top. He began to weave the dried tree branch, into the nest until secured, although it was too long the branch still hangs distinctly to one side.
