BOX ELDER COUNTY
Carl Lundblad (30 Apr 2017) - [Bear River MBR] - American
Golden-Plover. Pluvialis plovers, more slender than Black-bellied with
relatively smaller heads, thinner necks, and slender bills. Wings extending well
beyond tail tip and lots of primary extending beyond tertial tips, but I
couldn't count how many. Bold supercillia setting off contrasting dark caps. "Contrasty"
gold and dark speckled upper parts. Delayed pre-alternate molt also consistent
with this species; Pacific Golden-plover (which I'm not sure we really need to
consider) undergo pre-alternate molt early in spring, usually/often prior to
migration. Black-bellied Plovers typically molt earlier in the spring, and the
several hundred I saw this same morning at AIC were all in alternate plumage.

Kevin Wheeler (17 Apr 2017) - [Sand

but the general shape and color, with very pale wings lead me to this
conclusion. This gull was slightly larger than nearby Ring-billed Gulls, with
very pale tertials and coverts, slightly darker primaries, and smudgy-but pale
back. It has pinkish legs and dark eye and bill. Other birders identified these
photos as either Kumlien's or Thayer's.

Glossy Ibis. On a couple of occasions this individual would stop feeding and
stretch it's legs out behind it. The view of the legs during this time were seen
to be completely gray. The appearance of pink on the legs in my photo is
something that wasn't observed in the field and must be an artifact. When
combined with the strong GLIB features of the face, it was our thoughts that
this was a pure bird.

vocalized with asthmatic "Hyee, hyee, hyee"! black head with white stripe over
eye wrapping to back of head and white nose strap wrapping to nape. Red throat.
Black body with black wings, white shoulder blaze, solid white rump. Did not see
belly. Second bird drummed and called from a distant location.

Broad-winged Hawk. Immature bird - vertical streaking on body, white chin,
short and stocky wings that were overall white-ish/buffy with dark outline and
dark primaries, bulky buteo head. Bird had an adult-ish tail with two black
bands present and the first ID point noted. Bird was soaring overhead along Ben
Lomond Mountain foothills, fairly low so I was able to clearly see its details
and face. It was slowly drifting north in its loops. No images, but I'm 100%
confident in ID.
