Kristin Purdy
(7 November 2016) - [Willard Bay SP] - Swamp Sparrow. Bird called me over
yesterday with a chip note unlike nearby Song and White-crowned Sparrows, and
finches. Responded to pishing, popped out of thick brush along a boggy rivulet
twice, very briefly, not long enough for positive ID. Distinctly Melospiza,
lacking cuteness and crisp breast streaks of Lincoln's, and lacking stickpin and
coarse streaks of Song. Same scenario today with longer observation. Gray bill,
rusty-brown cap, gray-brown supercilium. Strong face pattern with auriculars
defined by dark eye line and moustachial stripe. Sub-moustachial stripe somewhat
buffy, but not as buffy as Lincoln's. Whitish throat. Grayish upper breast with
blurry, indistinct streaks. Weak buffiness on sides. Rusty brown wings and tail,
wings lacking wing bars.
-- Western Screech-Owl. Chickadee called me
to mature clump of trees with insistent dee-dee-dee notes. Juncos also mobbing.
Small owl perched close to trunk and partially obscured by leaves. Drawn up long
into camouflage posture. Generally gray and cryptic, strong, black coarse
streaks. Small grayish bill with whitish tip. White, irregular streak down
scapular.

somewhat quietly. Awesome outing other than my camera died just as I was coming

camera died. 23 species total:

over us.

Western Screech-Owl. Owl flew directly in front of my cay at windshield
height and was lit up to appear very gray and silvery by my headlights. The
short stubby owl came within 20 feet of my windshield but I was driving slow and
got great looks at the owl as it crossed in front of me. No doubt it was a

Gray Jay. A flock of 6-12 individuals were spotted at the Mirror Lake
parking lot; identified by sight and call; confirmatory video available; having
said all of this, this bird is more accurately classified as uncommon at this
site rather than rare; this is one of the premium locations in UT to take
birders who are looking to tick the gray jay box on their life lists. I also
have photos and records of the spp from a number of visits to this area over the
years.

Weston Smith (3 November 2016) - [East Canyon
Reservoir] - Pacific Loon. Continuing bird though today it seems to have
swallowed something with fishing line and is tangled in it. The bird seems to
have item in area where throat starts causing bill to remain open slightly, line
goes around one wing and tight enough to keep head back towards wing. Bird seems
to be moving across water ok but not sure if it can dive. It was vigorously
rolling in the water in an attempt to free itself. Last I saw it was about the
center of the reservoir. I contacted everyone I could think to maybe get it some
help today if not I have a contact that can possibly help tomorrow.

Barn Owl. I watched the crow which had attracted my attention in the
first place for a while, and realized it was scolding some other bird, but was
also keeping a safe distance from it, and keeping an eye on it. I found an angle
that allowed me to see the "feathered object", and realized it was NOT a hawk.
The crow flew off. I got binoculars. The heart-shaped face pattern was very
noticeable, and distinctive. I confirmed it with my bird books. I had never seen
a Barn Owl before! The owl returned to the same tree, but a slightly different
branch on the next day, which is the reason for different dates on the photos.
While I was looking at the owl, the owl was definitely looking at me!

crooked wings, overall white under parts, dark upper parts, white head with dark
mask line, and prominent dark carpal spots in lower wing. Surprised at such an

Semipalmated Plover. Relatively small shorebird, dark brown upperside, dark
cheek and orange legs. Single complete breast-band. Stout orange bill. Smaller
than Killdeer and less active. Definitely a plover. Watched them for a couple of
minutes in good light from about 50-60 yards away with 8.5x binoculars.
Surprised to see them this late in the year, but there was good foraging habitat
because the lake is so low, and the warm temperatures have probably been a
factor in having them stay around this long.

obtained less than ideal photos. Bird was delayed in its plumage transition as
it still held on to about 40% of its breeding plumage.Small loon with tiny,
upturned bill. Still had a good amount of red on the front of its neck. Pale
flanks. Will submit sight record to UBRC.

find them.
On the return hike found a tree with Bohemians in it, but I'm not sure if this
was the same group or not as it wasn't in the same area I saw the others. I'm
only reporting the number that I counted in the tree.
