During June 1976 a Band-tailed Pigeon (Columba fasciata) was sighted at the University of Idaho’s Taylor Ranch Field Station (46°6' N, 114°51' W). The research station is located in the Big Creek drainage of the Idaho Primitive Area. The Primitive Area is an expanse of 5200 km² of wilderness located contiguous to and south of the Salmon River Mountains. This sighting is noteworthy because Idaho is not listed in the winter or summer range of either the coastal race or interior race of the Band-tailed Pigeon (Braun et al. 1975).
