CACHE COUNTY

Craig Fosdick (22 May 2010) - Birded Rendezvous Park this am. An "almost" best bird was a possible Clay-colored Sparrow.

Craig Fosdick (16 May 29010) [Dry Canyon, UT] -  Hiked Dry Canyon this morning, and it was full of birds and birdsong. Highlights were a NORTHERN GOSHAWK battling a COOPER'S HAWK on the south ridgeline, calling CHUKAR, and a talking NORTHERN PYGMY-OWL in essentially the same location that I had a Pygmy-owl at in January, at about 6200'.  And there were lots of FOY Neotropical migrants for me, including WESTERN TANAGER, WARBLING VIREO, PLUMBEOUS VIREO, BLACK-THROATED GRAY, VIRGINIA'S and MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLERS, and both HAMMOND'S and DUSKY FLYCATCHERS.  I also saw a PINK-SIDED JUNCO...

Mike Fish (11 May 2010) -  ... I still have a Calliope Hummingbird showing up regularly at one of my nectar feeders.

Ryan O'Donnell (9 May 2010) - Today, Stephanie Cobbold and I birded the Logan City Polishing Ponds in Benson and Rendezvous Park in Logan. The Polishing Ponds had amazing-looking shorebird habitat, and was dense with hundreds of WHITE-FACED IBIS but a little short on peeps (we saw only one WESTERN and eight LEAST SANDPIPERS). Highlights here included one late SNOW GOOSE, a WHIMBREL, two more BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS, and a flyover PEREGRINE FALCON. One ibis looked to me like a GLOSSY IBIS...

I forgot to expand on the SOLITARY SANDPIPER in the subject line of my last email. A lone bird was on a pond just south of the Logan Landfill.

Mike Fish (2 May 2010) -  I think I had a Harris's Sparrow in my front yard this morning. I've never seen one before, but as near as I can tell from my guides, I believe this may be one. However, the bird doesn't look like photos on Utah Birds website but  it sorta matched a picture in my Sibley's guide (adult breeding).

Buck Russell (1May 2010) - This morning I birded the Logan Mitigation Ponds (aka Sue's Pond) and found two male and one female Blue-winged Teals in the southern most pond.

On the way out to Garr Ranch we saw a singing Grasshopper Sparrow, maybe a mile or so before the ranch...First good sighting was a pair of Bullock's Orioles, then a lone male Western Tanager. While watching that I spotted a BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER and while we were watching that Bob spotted a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH... We drove east to mile post 4 and stopped to look through the Black-bellied Plovers. There were about a thousand of them and right away we started picking out RED KNOTS, about twenty of them. .... I potted a strange bird that turned out being a RUDDY TURNSTONE. Back and forth through the plovers and we turned up three DUNLINS...

Saw my first Burrowing Owl of the year, and my first Warbling Vireos at a spring ten miles west of Cherry Creek.

Lu Giddings (8 May 2010) - Utah County Birders had a very good day traveling to Fish Springs, Callao, and Delta...

KANE COUNTY

Cheri "blujeans" (1 May 2010) - Came home today and had a M Bullocks on my suet mixture. Interesting. It is slightly sweet so maybe that's the attraction. Or maybe this is typical of the
Bullocks Oriole? I'm from Ohio and never had one before...

RICH COUNTY

Bill Fennimore (18 May 2010) - [Deseret Ranch - Great Salt Lake Bird Festival Field Trip]. Our total for the day was 111 species, a new record for the Bird Festival bus trips on Deseret Ranch.  Our previous best was 106 species last year.  The highlight birds were NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, BLUE-WINGED TEAL, and NORTHERN GOSHAWK.

Steve Coleman (5 May 2010) - For the second year I have had a Green-tailed Towhee coming to my yard for the last week...

Deb Drain (4 May 2010) - I know that Sora's are not uncommon, but it I think it might be uncommon for a Sora to be present at the Brighton Meadows Park (storm water retention basin park between 45th and 48th South at appx 15th East).  I walk in this park almost every day, and the past week I am fairly certain I have heard a Sora calling.  ...I also saw a Vesper Sparrow this eve at the park, another unusual sighting.

Rich Young (2 May 2010)  - For those of you who have been following the saga of the Neotropic Cormorants at the Sandy Pond, I have some bad news, then some good news.  First the bad news.

SAN JUAN COUNTY

Carl Ingwell (19May 2010) - [Island in the Sky, UT] - Over the last three days I have been doing surveys at Island in the Sky.  It's all pinon/juniper work & I'm getting all the normal stuff you find in such a habitat:  Gray Vireo, Gray Flycatcher, Pinon Jays, Black-throated Gray Warbler, Bewick's Wren, Lark Sparrow singing outside my tent at about 4 AM today.  I also had a Red-Breasted Nuthatch calling.

Carl Ingwell (12 May 2010) - Worked Natural Bridges again today... I also saw a Black-Headed Grosbeak, a White-Breasted Nuthatch & a pair of what appeared to be nesting Perigrine Falcons. I know I didn't see anything that neat, but I enjoyed it.

Carl Ingwell (11 May 2010) - It was cold and windy in Natural Bridges today, but I got a decent survey before the bad weather. Had a Cordilleran Flycatcher, a White-Breasted Nuthatch, a Wilson's Warbler, a Black-headed Grosbeak, etc. Also, the place was packed with hummingbirds and wildflowers.

UINTAH COUNTY 

Linda West (12 May 2010) - Had a white-winged dove at my feeder again this morning--this is 3rd
time in the last 4 years. If it just came up from the south, it must be wondering why, what with a skiff of overnight snow on everything... Otherwise, lazuli buntings have just shown up in the last couple of
days, a bit later than usual, but apparently they know it's spring even if the weather isn't sure yet.

UTAH COUNTY 

Leena Rogers (30 may 2010) [Provo] - Male Rose-breasted Grosbeak in my daughter's yard, foothills of Provo.

Jeff Bilsky (6 May 2010) -  [Northern Parula]...I stumbled on a presumed Warbler that confused me. Here's what I can tell you. Yellow throat. Clean white from there on down, through to the undertail. Pure white. Not dingy. No streaking. When I saw the head, the eyes appeared to have white arcs above and below. I wasn't able to get a feel for the colors of the head, wings, body. I have theories but none that fit perfectly...

Eric Huish (8 May 2010) - Jeff Cooper and I birded the American Fork Boat Harbor area this morning. Best bird was a Northern Waterthrush Jeff spotted along the American Fork River about a half mile upstream from the boat harbor...
     We saw lots of Yellow Warblers, a Black-throated Gray Warbler, a few Hermit Thrushes and and a few Green Tailed Towhees. A Warbling Vireo was a first-of-year for us.

Jeff Bilsky (6 May 2010) - In the hot spot that is my office in Provo, I just had a NASHVILLE WARBLER and a couple BULLOCK'S ORIOLES (M+F), as well as continued numbers of the other common Warblers - no Vireos today...

     At Utah Lake State Park the most interesting was a black and white warbler along with the rest of the warblers listed at skipper bay trail. Also 2 lark sparrows.

Eric Huish (1 May 2010) -  Jeff Cooper and I birded Highland Glen Park for about an hour this morning in the rain.  One of the Harris Sparrows Jeff has been seeing in the park this winter is
still there, in breeding plumage and signing. It was with a few White-crowned Sparrows near the small parking area south of the playground.
     There was a Common Loon on the fishing pond. Loons can be hard to find in Utah County.
     We also saw 5 species of warbler, a Hermit Thrush and I'm pretty sure we had a Peregrine Falcon fly over.

WASATCH COUNTY

Dave Hascom (20 May 2010) - Went looking for Bilsky's Glossy Ibis again today, but couldn't find the flock.  A Bobolink and an Eastern Kingbird made the trip worth while, however. The Bobolink was along the next road south of Potter Lane, and the Kingbird was hanging out with a couple of Westerns a bit south and west of the Bobolink.

WASHINGTON COUNTY 

Larry Tripp (29 May 2010) - Today just north of Veyo in Washington County I saw an OVENBIRD. It came into pishing where I watched it for minute or so on a Juniper branch then walking around. ...in a small spot near a pond where I take Tayla for a walk often....

Tim Avery (29 May 2010) - This morning Jeff Bilsky and I observed an adult male Rose-breasted Grosbeak in the cottonwoods above the drinking fountain at the entrance of Lytle Ranch. Most of the usual suspects were also around including several Brown-crested Flycatcher, Summer Tanager, Hooded Oriole, Common Black-Hawk, and Bell's Vireo.
     There were 3 Vermilion Flycatcher at Boots Cox Park in St. George and a Green Heron at Springs Estate Pond.

Joel Beyer (8 May 2010) - We found a male Hooded Warbler at Lytle Ranch (Washington Co.) this morning. It was in the large bush just north of the trailer and workshop, where the trail forks. It was in this bush for at least 2 hours (until we left at 12:30). Cindy and Steve Sommerfield also saw the bird (Utah lifer for all!).

Joel Beyer (7 May 2010) - A Least Tern was at Sand Hollow Reservoir this afternoon, along with 30 Forster's Terns and 5 Caspian Terns. We were unable to find the Pomarine Jaeger.

David Wheeler (1-2 May 2010) - [Lytle Ranch] COMMON BLACK-HAWKS -- back just south of Lytle Ranch; POMARINE JAEGER -- there as of Friday morning, with incredibly long tail making it easy to spot in the lake. [thank you again Rick!]; COSTA'S HUMMINGBIRD -- one male still visiting feeder at Lytle Ranch .... Stunning.; CASSIN'S KINGBIRD -- on the road to Welcome Springs, hanging with a Western kingbird, oddly enough; VIRGINIA's WARBLERS -- absolutely everywhere down south, ranging from Beaver Dam Slope to Zion NP; PAINTED REDSTARTS -- a pair at Temple of Sinewava (sp?) parking lot. TURKEYS nearby too.; SUMMER TANAGERS -- they are back at Lytle Ranch & they are stunning; RED CROSSBILLS -- several flocks at Pine Valley at & above the locked gate to campground.

WEBER COUNTY 

Kris Purdy (18 May 2010) - [Huntsville] - BOBOLINKS have arrived in Ogden Valley northeast of Huntsville in Weber County, and can be observed from one of the usual places, Middlefork Lane. To get there, travel east on SR-39 from I-15 exit 344, 12^th Street. Pass through Ogden Canyon, along the south shore of Pineview Reservoir, and east of Huntsville.

Dave Wheeler (16 May 2010) - I drove off to the North Arm Wildlife Area of Pineview to seek the Calliope hummingbird, and by the time I arrived the gods had tired of their torments. I saw a couple tiny males in their "fizyoooooo"-producing display flights, and was healed.

Kristin Purdy (9 May 2010) - .... The North Arm Natural Area of Pineview Reservoir, Weber County, this morning. One male CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRD was on territory on top willow and hawthorne branches. I believe this is the Jack Binch Calliiope, one Jack found a few years ago, which continues to return to the same spot...
   I checked a few other places around the valley, including a dawn walk down Old Snowbasin Road from the flagged entrance to the ski resort; there were a drumming Ruffed Grouse, Red-naped Sapsuckers, Steller’s Jays, Mountain Chickadees, Red-breasted Nuthatches, a MacGillivray’s Warbler, Cassin’s Finches, and a distant pair of moose on a ridge.
   Earlier this week, I checked on the Lewis’s Woodpeckers in Liberty in the northwest end of the valley on the way to North Fork Park.

Brenda Kidman (5 May 2010) - [South Weber] We got the WESTERN KINGBIRDS back on Sunday. We have several pairs that nest in and around the yard.  We have also had COMMON GRACKLES. It seems to be a little early for them but they are not one I keep track of as well as some of our favorites.  We have lots of BULLOCKS and there are still WHITE CROWNED and LAZULI'S but the Indigo has gone. Evidently the better weather gave it more options.
