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 who works for me has an INDIGO BUNTING coming to her backyard in Clearfield.  She lives at 144 North 1300 West, Clearfield and said birders 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 best bird however was a male Myrtle Warbler with Audubon's on the shore of the lake at the back of Ruby's Inn.

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!

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 Cordilleran Flycatcher, and my FOY Olive-sided Flycatchers too.

Aubree Huff (17 May 2011) - My money is on me!  I saw two Neotropical Cormorants spooning while listening to Marvin Gaye and taking a romantic bubble bath in the warm springs of 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! Yahoo! I live in Holladay just two blocks west of I-215 and near 4500 S.

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. Arches yielded Black-throated Sparrow, Rock Wren, White-throated Swift, Violet-green Swallow, Cooper's Hawk...

Wetland bottom flooding is expected to be record highs and most roads will be under water.

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 Canyon Drive.

Lots of FOY birds for that area - Yellow and Yellow-rumped Warblers, Chipping Sparrows, Green-tailed Towhee, House Wren. Biggest surprise was just before we got back to the trailhead when a 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.

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:...

   --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.
