CACHE COUNTY

Mike Fish (29 December 2016) - [Logan Canyon] - Pacific Wren. Found between the group areas. Made several calls as I walked by which caught my attention. I was able to get a few photos and watch the bird for several minutes.

Mike Fish (23 December 2016) - [High Creek Rd] - Snow Goose. Sitting in field with 640 Canada geese on the southside of Egan road.

Sammy Cowell (20 December 2016) - [High Creek Rd] - Sharp-tailed Grouse. Group of good-sized birds flying over the road. They were backlight, and I didn't get a good look at them. But, it seemed clear to me that they were a gamebird of some kind based on their size/shape, how they were flying, and how they grouped together. Larger than Gray Partridge, smaller than Wild Turkey. Gliding over the road with wings slightly drooped.

Cullen Clark (18 December 2016) - [Richmond, UT] - Greater White-fronted Goose.

Sammy Cowell (15 December 2016) - [Hyrym Reservoir] - Greater Scaup. I originally thought these could be BWTE b/c of the bill, white behind bill, and white on the flank. But, I later realized these were female scaup. I distinctly remember at least one, and probably two, out of the group of five having a white spot on the flank/wings, a trait very rarely seen in female Lesser Scaup. Seemed slightly bigger, but that part could be post-hoc confirmation bias. This is after the fact, and it could be wishful thinking, but I clearly remember a distinct white patch on the flanks/wings. That's enough to make me call it, even after originally misidentifying. May go back tomorrow to confirm, and I encourage other birders (with better cameras) to check it out as well. This bird is very rare for the county.
     -- Lesser Black-backed Gull. Good deal larger than RBGU, and slightly larger than the CAGU's. Back very dark. Larger and straighter bill.

Sammy Cowell (9 December 2016) - [Logan Canyon] - Canyon Wren. Heard "jeet" calls coming from a group of exposed rock faces. Probably about 0.5 past the Crimson Trailhead. Turned around at this point.

Sammy Cowell (7 December 2016) - [North Fields, Logan, UT] - Peregrine Falcon. Perched on fence post on other side of airport runway. Far away, but could still make out buff breast and belly and dark head. About half the size of a RTHA perched a few fence posts away. Confident enough to call it.

Brett Mossman (4 December 2016) - [Steel Canyon] - Golden Eagle, Black-billed Magpie, Juniper Titmouse, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Townsend's Solitaire, American Robin, Dark-eyed Junco (Slate-colored), Dark-eyed Junco (Oregon), Dark-eyed Junco (Pink-sided)

Ian Batterman (18 December 2016) - [Buffalo Ranch Pond] - RUSTY BLACKBIRD. Continuing female seen under the same Russian Olive tree. Blackbird with rusty-colored back and head. Yellow eyes and bold supercilium key distinguishing features
     -- Vermilion Flycatcher. Continuing male. Saw him on the far side of the fence (too far for photos) as I was leaving. Bright red bird with dark mask and wings.
     -- Lapland Longspur. Sparrow shaped bird (short beak, large head, long tail) flying overhead. Key identifying characteristic was clear white outer tail coverts visible from far below. Shape eliminated American Pipit. I did consider a Vesper Sparrow, but the bird I saw had more color to its face and chest and lacked the chest streaks of a Vesper Sparrow. Also I noticed that, even though Vesper Sparrows do have white outer tail feathers, I do not believe that they are visible from the underside.

MORGAN  COUNTY 

Weston Smith (27 December 2016) - [East Canyon Reservoir] - American Tree Sparrow

Weston Smith (20 December 2016) - [Milton, UT] - Ross's Goose. Very small white goose with black wing tips, nice round head with small stubby red orange bill. Bird was with a bunch of Canada Geese on the Weber River. I tried getting some pictures but was only able to get some very distant ones that have been heavily cropped. The pictures show the size comparison to the Canada Geese as well as the round head and its small bill that is almost not visible. The birds all flushed when I was still more than a hundred yards from them. I was able to see a good size difference in the wing span of this bird compared to the Canadas as they all flew away from me.

Bryant Olsen (24 December 2016) - [Lake Park] - Greater White-fronted Goose. Continuing. Very interesting immature G. White-fronted Goose. Immediately stands out because of very dark brown color, as well as its apparent large size compared with the Canadas. I wonder if it may be a 'Tule' Goose? Will have to do some research.

Neil Paprocki (17 December 2016) - [Ruby Duck Club] - Ross's Goose. With flock of Canada Geese. Poor photos only showing that the goose is small and white. Short, stubby bill seen well while viewing through spotting scope.

Neil Paprocki (14 December 2016) - [Fish Creek Cove] - Gambel's Quail. To my knowledge, and according to local historical knowledge (Jay Banta and others), there has been a population of Gambel's Quail in the Torrey-Teasdale area for quite some time (at least 15 years). It is thought that this population may be introduced, but the exact origin is not known to me. Birds have certainly become well established residents in the area. In fact, California Quail are very rare in the county, and I suspect most of the CAQU sightings from Wayne County are actually GAQU. Notes:
   - Chestnut-colored flanks
   - Black belly patch on males
   - No scaling on ventral side

WEBER COUNTY 

Michael Lester (29 December 2016) - [West Weber] - Lapland Longspur. One with HOLA along 9100S, a little more than half way to 450N. 2nd bird (more black on chest; photos) closer to 450N. Later saw 3 birds together (photos) which may or may not have included the first 2.

Mike Hearell (17 December 2016) - [Ogden CBC NW] - Swamp Sparrow. Probable. This bird doesn't seem to be a text book fit. When comparing all field marks with other sparrow sp the SWSP seems to be all that fits. The GISS in the field was Swamp Sparrow initially, but only with further comparisons and discussion did we settle on this species.
