Ospreys and geese are ubiquitous around here ... and not always the best neighbors. The geese that got into the Memorial Field osprey nest this morning got their goslings to jump from the tall nest. Now we wait to see if the osprey will come back to their nest.

At Sandpoint, Idaho's Memorial Field park, after a pair of geese appropriated a 90-foot-tall osprey nest to incubate and hatch their eggs, the day after they...

Schweitzer's been getting terrific early snow - witness this photo from the mountain today. There's more predicted the next few days, and it's all adding up to Schweitzer's earliest opening in years, next Friday, November 22. If you saw that our calendar in the new Winter '25 Sandpoint Magazine had it as Nov 21, yeah, that was a day too quick. Watch for the latest conditions at www.Schweitzer.com ... and here's to a great season of skiing and riding.

The new issue of Sandpoint Magazine is out and among its most gorgeous four pages are the photo essay, featuring our glorious night skies. And we somehow managed to get all three photographers who contributed mixed up. The amazing photo at left of Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas over Lake Pend Oreille was taken by Brandon Puckett of Pucktography in October, from a viewpoint over Hope. Alas, we erroneously credited his photo to Cole Golphanee of Cole Golphenee Photography; Cole's shots were the campfire and terrific time-lapse of the circling star trail at right. Bradford Benoit of Live A Wilder Life captured the mystical northern lights at top right. Sorry to all three of those great local photogs! Check their photos at www.SandpointMagazine.com ... and click see more of each photographer's work:

Winter is here! That is, the new Winter edition of Sandpoint Magazine. It's chock full of stories about our town, including the Winter Guide insert with the how-to and where-to of all the winter activities to be had here and at Schweitzer this '24-25 season. It is just hitting the racks around town today; find it at Super 1, Yokes, Safeway, Sandpoint Chamber, hotels, shops and cafes around the region. (If you find an empty rack, check back - the magazines do go fast but our dedicated PSNI crew is refilling daily.)

Of course, the gorgeous hard copy, hold-in-your-hands magazine is the best ... but if you can't lay hands on it, see the flip-page issue online at: www.SandpointMagazine.com ...

And here's to Winter!
