Approximately 20 tricolored blackbirds have been reported from Payette County, Idaho.  Four birds were first observed on March 26, 2023 at one location and subsequent survey efforts turned up additional birds at a second location about 5 miles away.  Both male and female birds have been observed.

This is the first time the species has been documented to occur in Idaho.
