Mike Fish (13 Jan 2017) - [Petersboro, UT] - Gray Partridge. The partridge flew across the highway directly in front of my car. I saw the birds land on the hillside west of the road. I pulled off on the 7200 W exit and turned around to see if I could relocate the birds. As I got back to their location, I saw the grays running down into the deep ditch at the side of the road. The hillside and ditch where the partridge flew to is covered with sunflower stocks which I am assuming attracted them.

The owl was flying from the area of the Providence theaters and headed towards the small golf park to the east.

Flycatching off a boadwalk leading to open water from the warm spring. Watched it for a couple of minutes. Amazed that it can survive in this cold weather, but maybe where the warm water is feeding into the lake provides enough warmth to keep it alive.

Suzi Holt (26 Jan 2017) - [North Orem, UT] - Western Screech-Owl

George Webb (25 Jan 2017) - [Provo City Cemetery] - Red-naped Sapsucker. Sapsucker working a pine tree about forty feet up on the trunk of the tree. Poor light, but still enough to see the red forehead and red throat with just a smidgeon of red on the nape. Back was characterized by having cream-colored white bars in two rows. This bird lacked the upper white wing coverts, Watched it for 5-10 minutes with 8.5x binoculars. It also had a white stripe from bill to belly and it was about 8-9 inches long. It was definitely a male because of extensive red on throat.

Maurice DeMille (30 Jan 2017) - [Stratton Pond] - Lesser Black-backed Gull

Lucy Ormond (27 Jan 2017) - [Zion NP] - House Wren. I ruled out Bewick because there was no eyeline. It was not bobbing like a rock wren. The overall coloring was paler than the other wrens seen in the park (rock, canyon, Bewicks, and winter). Too light to be a Pacific Wren. Also the bird was low in a tree near enough to see well. It then floated down into a shrub nearby. There were no rocks nearby which would have made me think Rock Wren. This is the behavior commonly seen in the house wrens in Zion National park. I did not hear any vocalization.
