In Idaho, the American Pipit (Anthus rubescens) has been considered primarily a migrant, either locally common but erratic (Larrison et al. 1967) or uncommon in spring and common in fall (Burleigh 1972). Several other writers (Merriam 1891, Merrill 1898, Newhouse 1960, Levy 1962) considered it an abundant fall migrant but gave no indication of actual numbers.
