Bryant Olsen (27 July 2015) - [Alta] - I've just finished up my field season of BBS at Atla, here are some highlights:
   -- At least 4 male CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRDS on territory during the month of June up Grizzly Gulch.
    -- Many BLACK ROSY-FINCHES in the alpine ridge line between Sugarloaf and Devil's Castle peaks, including watching a food delivery to a nest in a crack on a cliff.
    -- An AMERICAN PIPIT also along the same alpine ridge line. Very few summer records for them in the alpine of SL county
    -- Many RED CROSSBILLS. There seems to be a good crop of Spruce cones ripening up this summer, and the Crossbills have moved in to take advantage of them. One morning I'm fairly certain I heard a WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL mixed in with a flock of Reds
    -- On my last BBS, I had a great look at an immature NORTHERN GOSHAWK
    -- Although they were a little late in arriving in good numbers this year, the RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRDS have now moved in and taken over the flower fields, as well as the hummingbird feeders I put up.

Kris Purdy  (27 July 2015) - [Albion Basin, Alta]...Favorite bird of Wednesday’s trip was a singing male russet Pine Grosbeak at the tippy-top of a spruce or fir; when he swooped to half the height and landed again on conifer branches in shady woodland dappled with sunlight, I saw him beautifully, rosily, satisfyingly; a rosy bloom landed upon forest green needled branches...
