BOX ELDER COUNTY
Paul Higgins (30 May 2011) - Snowy Plover at
Bear River WMA.
Norm Jenson (24 May 2011) - Gray
Catbird - Willard Bay State Park.
Jason St. Sauver (12 May 2011) - stopped
by the Perry Nature Park real quick after work - had both a Sora and
Virginia Rail calling...
Matt and Leann Crook (7 May 2011) We arrived at
Lucin, Box Elder Co., just as the sun was coming up and stayed there until noon.
The warblers have definitely arrived... [highlights:] ... MacGillivray's Warblers, Common
Yellowthroats, and Yellow-breasted Chats...
Merlin, Great Horned Owls...
Say's Phoebe...
Paul Higgins (5 May 2011) - SOLITARY SANDPIPER,
Willard Bay (South Side)
Mike Fish (5 May 2011) - There is a Great Horned
Owl nest out here on the ATK mountain (Promontory) again this year. ... I
was surprised to see yesterday that there are 4 Owlets in the nest. I have been
watching the nest for the past month and haven’t noticed more than 3 babies
until yesterday. The fourth owl chick is the smallest and is usually hidden
behind the other owls. Last year this Great Horned pair successfully raised 2
babies in this nest ...
CACHE COUNTY
Ryan O'Donnell (31 May 2011) - just saw a
GRAY FLYCATCHER foraging around the fountains just south of the Taggart
Student Center (TSC) building on the campus of Utah State University. It was
flycatching from low branches, shrubs, and the ground, and habitually dipping
its tail phoebe-like each time it landed. The bird did not vocalize in the ten
minutes or so I watched it.
Jason St. Sauver (29 May 2011) - My friend Kent and
I did some soggy day birding all around Cache county yesterday - starting at
Benson Marina, Cutler Marsh, Green Canyon,Blacksmith Fork Canyon, Logan Canyon
and back. Lots of ground and lots of birds - most the usual suspects - BUT had
some nice highlights: American Bittern at Cutler Marsh, Blue-wing Teal
at Benson Marina...
Mike Fish (19 May 2011) - I'm quite sure I just saw
my first ever INDIGO BUNTING. The bird was just in my backyard stting in
a Water Birch tree and gave me about a 4 minute look (looked like a Lazuli but
completely blue with blackish primaries and no wing bars)...
Ara Shahbazian (16 May 2011) - About a week
ago I saw a grey hawk flying overhead approximately 50 feet away. Color wise it
seemed similar to a rock pigeon or seagull. It seemed strange; once I checked a
sight about Utah birds, I was sure it was a GREY HAWK. I also read that
there has been only one sighting of a grey hawk in south western Utah. After
explaining my experience to a friend of mine who happened to be a game warden,
he suggested I report it to the Audobon Society. I did not see any transmitters
or any other tracking devices on the bird. The exact location of the sighting
is: 2000 North 6450 West Petersboro, Utah.
Craig Fosdick (13 May 2011) - This evening at
Benson Marina I had a BLACK TERN flying around on the south side of the
road, gleaning insects from just above the water's surface. This is only the
second Black Tern I've seen in Cache Co. and the first one I've seen in the
spring.
Kurt Kotter (11 May 2011) - Monday, May 9, I found
12 VAUX'S SWIFTS feeding in Cache County along the old Mendon Road where
it crosses the Little Bear River (ebird - hot birding site: Mendon Road
Management Area) at 1:30PM. They were flying back and forth during a light rain,
only very seldomly soaring.
Craig Fosdick (2 May 2011) - This morning the
EVENING GROSBEAKS finally found my feeder ....took 'em long enough.... Also today, I had one each SEMIPALMATED and
LEAST SANDPIPER in the small pond on the south side of Utah Hwy 30 across
from the Logan Fish Hatchery. Near the Cutler Marsh Boat Launch on Utah 30 I
had a GREAT EGRET... At DEEP
CANYON, I had COOPER'S HAWK and FOY (for me at least) HERMIT THRUSH,
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, FOX SPARROW, CHIPPING SPARROW,
RUFFED GROUSE (drumming), and WILD TURKEY....
Mike Fish (1 May 2011) - May 1st has brought three
new first of spring birds to my yard. 1 - Green-tailed Towhee, 1 -
Lazuli Bunting. 2 - Brown-headed Cowbirds. I also captured three new
pictures of a Calliope Hummingbird this morning.
CARBON COUNTY
Steve Peterson (23 May 2011) - The White-winged
Doves have been eating at my feeders the past several days.
DAVIS COUNTY
Glen Barlow (26 May 2011) -
I often pass the Haight's Creek Irrigation Pond on 200 North
in East Kaysville on a daily basis. Today, I was curious about an unknown bird
that I have seen for several day. Sure enough it was a male Common Loon
in breeding plumage. It usually stays near the dam in the western part of the
pond.
LOVELY BIRD!
Norm Jenson (24 May 2011) - Eastern Kingbird
- Antelope Island Causeway.
Bill Fennimore (19 May 2011)- Ann Matthews

are welcome...
Kristen Purdy (15 May 2011) - A NEOTROPIC
CORMORANT was at Buffalo Ranches Pond in Farmington, Davis County, this
afternoon at about 1 pm. This could quite possibly be the same bird that Norm
Jensen reported at Glover Ponds on April 28 and David Wheeler reported on March
25, assuming the bird has found the ponds nice places to stay...
David Wheeler (15 May 2011) - POMARINE JAEGER.
On Antelope Island Causeway mile marker 6 @ 3:30 pm on Sunday, 5/15. Adult light
phase, long streamers. Fabulous.
Kristen Purdy (9 May 2011) - Pomera Fronce and I
enjoyed two VAUX’S SWIFTS at Kaysville Ponds in Davis County this
afternoon...
Joel and Kathy Beyer (8 May 2011) - This morning on the
Antelope Island causeway we saw 12 Whimbrels (mm 6), 7 Semipalmated
Plovers, and approx. 150 Black-bellied Plovers. Along the road to
Garr Ranch we saw and heard a total of 9 Grasshopper Sparrows. At
Farmington Bay WMA a GLOSSY IBIS was along the entrance road. From atop
Egg Island, we scoped a flock of over 300 godwits and found a single
HUDSONIAN GODWIT.
Carol Gwynne (7 May 2011) - There were about 60
Long-billed Dowitchers at Farmington Bay this afternoon.... The ponds at Glover Lane were very quiet; most of the birds were at the
Buffalo Ranches pond. There were several FOY Black-crowned Night Herons
and a female Red-breasted Merganser at Buffalo Ranches.
Cindy Sommerfeld (2 May 2011) - Yesterday we
enjoyed the beautiful weather for our count. There were some pleasant surprises.
The first was 180 Black-bellied Plovers, on the Causeway . They were on
the south side just past mile marker 6. We walked a squishy sinky two hundred
yards to get a little better look. Among them we found an American
Golden-Plover and a Red Knot. In the same area, closer to the road
were Snowy Plovers and a Semi-Palmated Plover. Also along the
Causeway we saw Sanderlings and Long-billed Dowitchers.
GARFIELD
COUNTY
Richard Coomber (19 May 2011)- We have had a lot of
snow at Bryce today, but not much settling except at over about 8,500 ft. The

Acorn Woodpecker and
Pygmy Nuthatch. Both were
there, along with many Western Bluebirds, a
Juniper Titmouse, a couple
of White-breasted Nuthatch,
and a very cooperative
Black-throated Gray Warbler.
Susan Snyder (2 May 2011) - Not that they're all
that rare, but we did enjoy seeing Juniper titmice and Black-throated
sparrows at Dead Horse Point State Park and in Arches National Park this
past weekend. The sweet little feathered peepers were faring much better in the
cold winds than I!
JUAB COUNTY
Joel and Cathy Beyer (23 May 2011) - On the way
home Sunday, we stopped at Chicken Creek Reservoir (Juab Co.) and spotted 2
breeding-plumaged Horned
Grebes.
MILLARD COUNTY

BOBOLINK singing in the Fool Creek Sinks
Monday evening while driving Sink Road on my way home from work. The bird was in
a dead tree close to the old concrete silo with "Taylor Flats" painted on it;
~2.5 miles SSE of the Lynndyl Sinclair convenience store. A first for me in
Millard Co. I also saw a "Myrtle" Yellow-rumped Warbler. Evening
Grosbeaks found there way to Oak City on Saturday and Sunday. I had 5+ in my
yard.

Lark Bunting in the driveway here in Croydon, Utah. It was feeding with
several Lark Sparrows.
RICH COUNTY
Jeff Cooper (30 May 2011) - I was able to spend
Saturday on Deseret Ranch with a few intrepid Utah birders... before the end of
a GREAT day on the ranch we broke the 100 mark for species identified. Two
WHIMBRELS among a flock of WHITE-FACED IBIS (in the same field we
watched a Badger, Coyote and an immature GOLDEN EAGLE that stooped and
attempted to take a White-tailed Prairie Dog but failed), GREATER SCAUP;
BOBOLINK (life bird for me) that flushed along with a small group of
sparrows and warblers and gave great views; BLACK TERN (life bird for
me); GREAT HORNED OWL; LEWIS'S WOODPECKER; FERRUGINOUS HAWK;

first hatchling into the world at 9:45 this morning. The young one just devoured
a meal (5:00 p.m.) and then promptly fell asleep. (#s 2 and 3 have hatched
since then).
Bryant Olsen (26 May 2011) We seem to all of
a sudden be in the midst of a great many migrating
Flycatchers here in SLC, especially those pesky little Empidonax's. A
short walk through Mt. Olivet cemetery this evening,and I had Dusky/Hammond's
everywhere (not singing of course), and at least one

Glover Ponds. The romance is there, and soon the magic will happen, my friend.
Deedee O'Brien (16 May 2011) - Thanks for all the
lovely responses to my "Blue Grosbeak" sighting. Indigo Bunting is better yet!

I love spring.
SAN JUAN COUNTY
Dave Hanscom (8 May 2011) - {Matheson Wetlands] -
There are a couple of ponds in the north end of the preserve, so there were lots
of water birds. The south end has a combination of
tall trees and scrubby
vegetation, so good habitat for a variety of species. Birds seen included
Lazuli Bunting,
Dusky Flycatcher,
Cassin's Vireo,
Wilson's Phalarope,
Yellowthroat,
Hermit Thrush,
House Wren, and
Bullock's Oriole. Nothing we won't see up here in the next few weeks.

of White-breasted Nuthatch,
and a very cooperative
Black-throated Gray Warbler.

there...
Karl Mellor (4 May 2011) - I recently hung a bird
feeder on my back porch and today I spotted a male and female VERMILLION
FLYCATCHER sitting on the feeder right in front of my window. I was stunned
to see this bird so far north and at such a high elevation. We are located in
Hoytsville, Utah, just 10 miles east of Park City, and our elevation is about
5500 feet. I'll watch for them again tomorrow and see if they return.
TOOELE COUNTY

visit is now. We are already taking on a lot of water. Wetland bottom flooding
is expected to be record highs and most roads will be under water. And it is
likely that the auto tour route will be blown out - the river has been working
on it for a few years. The following birds were seen within the survey route:

COMMON LOON at Salem Pond this late in the year...
Eric Peterson (8 May 2011) - [American Fork, UT) -
I just got home from showing dogs this morning and my wife said what kind of
bird is that on the feeder. I looked out to see a
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK and a
Black-headed
Grosbeak on the feeder together.
KC Childs (6 May 2011) - I went hiking today up
Slate Canyon which is located on the south end of Provo about 900 S. and Slate

surprised when I ran across a Pacific Wren being very vocal about a half
mile up from the red gate...

Dike road today. The first bird I saw was right at the entrance of the road by
the river. It was about 6 inches or so, very dark (almost black), with a
contrasting white lower breast. ... It looked to me like it had to be a BLACK
PHOEBE, but I know they don't usually get up north this far.[hightlights:]... LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE...

West Strawberry Road to look for the
Purple Martins reported
last summer by Bryant Olsen. I could only find one in the little grove of
trees about 7 miles south of Strawberry Bay... On the way home, I turned west on Potter's Lane (across from
the UVU campus on US-40 north of Heber) to look for Bobolinks. None were
visible from the lane, but there were several near the next road to the south.

Trumpeter Swan on the southernmost pond of the former fish hatchery south of

DUSKY GROUSE sauntered across the trail in front of us. I don't remember
ever seeing one at such a low elevation. Must be waiting for the snow to melt up
high.
WASHINGTON COUNTY
Rick Fridell (31 May 2011) - This evening (5/31) there

about halfway between the town of Pinto and Newcastle Res.
Larry Tripp (30 May 2011) - Today in Veyo Washington Co. I saw a Ovenbird
in the same lacation that I saw one last year. This isn't much of a birding
spot. It's just a thicket at the end of the road where I take the dogs walking.
Ryan O'Donnell (23 May 2011) -
Last weekend (May 20-22, 2011) I led
a field trip for the Bridgerland Audubon Society to Washington County. The
rarest birds we found were a ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK at Boots Cox Park in
St. George and a possible LEAST FLYCATCHER at Lytle Ranch.
Dave Hanscom (3 May 2011) - Three days in Washington
County with Bobs Huntington and MacDougall were extremely productive. We found
most, but not all, of the birds reported by Ryan O'Donnell, plus a few others.
Here's a summary of our weekend:...
--Next was Boots Cox Park to check out the Vermillion
Flycatchers, but we didn't see the grosbeak reported by Ryan and Craig.
--Back to Springs Pond after dinner for a successful attempt at
finding Lesser Nighthawks.
--Sunday. Back to Hurricane for another try at the Hooded Oriole.
Success, with a special bonus of Inca Doves in the same location. Thanks,
Jack.
--Then along came the Beyers, who said they'd seen a couple of
Horned Grebes. We ended up seeing four, ... all were in full breeding
plumage. Thanks again to Joel and Kathy!

and about 20 yards north of the wall.
