One male LESC in flock for comparison. GRSC appeared to ride low in water when head was not tucked in scaps, head and neck leaning forward slightly. Low, sloping crowns sometimes with slightly raised poofiness forward of the eye. No point on crown at any time. Pale blue bill on males, obvious black nail. Adult males often showed green glint to heads, never purple. Jowly look to head at lower cheeks. Yellow eye positioned high on face making crown appear shallow, not tall. Female-types similar structure with brown heads and white saddle over face just aft of bill.

Cullen Clark (7 Nov 2017) - [Logan River - Icon Trail] - Common Redpoll. Small flock of 8-10 small finch like birds flew into the willows near the second pedestrian bridge. They were giving calls that were obviously not Siskin or Goldfinch calls. I got a brief look through binoculars. They were small gray brown birds with streaked breasts, forked tails and a red cap. I had my camera but did not have time to take pictures before they flew. I pointed them out to a coworker just ahead of me as they flew. They lit again briefly about 50 yards away then continued west. I couldn't see if they lit again.

George Webb  (17 Nov 2017) - [Midview Reservoir - Lake Boreham] - Red-throated Loon. I watched this one for at least fifteen minutes with a spotting scope between 20x and 40x because it was out more than 100 yards in not the greatest light. I was able to compare it with the common loon which was nearby. This bird was smaller with a thin, upturned bill, and it tended to hold its head tilted upright quite a bit. Grayish head was more rounded and gray extended down the back of the neck. There was a slight reddish spot on the throat. Did not have a chin strap that is mentioned for the Pacific Loon. The back had muted white spotting. Difficult to determine flank color at that distance, but was not dark all the way back along the water line. It did not call and it did not fly. I think this was an adult bird that had not completely molted out of its breeding plumage due to its gray head and back of neck and small reddish area at base of throat.

Glenn Kincaid (15 Nov 2017) - [The View] - Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch. These photos were circulated and feedback received regarding species ID for this individual. ID for Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch is based on the following: Richer brown color, more contrasting crown with solidly gray feathers over the eye. Based on the white edges to the greater coverts this is probably a young bird. The mottled crown and hind crown indicate that it is a female.

MORGAN  COUNTY 

Weston Smith (11 Nov 2017) - [East Canyon Reservoir] - White-winged Scoter. Bird was swimming by itself in the middle of the reservoir arm that goes east towards Henefer with highway 65 on north side & highway 66 on south side. I watched bird for nearly 15 minutes before it showed the white on its wings. On the 8th there was a single scoter in this same area sleeping, I watched for quite a while to see wings but gave up after about 30 minutes. So this bird may have been around for a few days.
     -- Also seen: Red-necked Grebe. Single medium sized grebe actively diving at the south end of the reservoir out from the big rock that the campground down there is named after. No other birds in area for comparison but was able to get decent pictures that show enough details for a confirmation.

Paul Harding (4 Nov 2017) - [Salt Lake city, UT] - Broad-tailed Hummingbird. Adult male, red-throated, green backed, hummingbird visiting fountain in secluded yard. Observed from living room at 10'. In season 3 feeders at the home but were removed in September after other hummingbirds left for the season. Four adults and two children observed the bird in the early afternoon, several minutes washing itself in small, bubbling fountain. Front yard, 15 yards away contains numerous snapdragons still in blossom which possibly could have played a role in attracting the bird. Appearance was that of an adult male Broad-tailed humming bird but I initially discounted this as a possibility because of the lack of a trilling sound associated with flight. I later read that later in the season the sound diminish with the wear on the wing feathers. Lesser gold finches were also washing in the fountain around the same time. I was shocked to see a hummingbird this late in season. The bird was adult and looked in good health. I observed the fountain the next day for a few hours to see if there would be a return and although I saw a pair of Red-breasted Nuthatches and a Dark Eyed Junco, I didnt see the hummingbird return and assume it stopped in migration.
