Greater Scaup. There were two scaup feeding away from the other scaups
both had extensive white around the base of their bills. One look to be a female
the other a first winter male (it was starting to molt side fathers). I spent
quite a while watching (at least 30 minutes) through my Zeiss spotting scope (no
heat waves on reservoir to cause distortion) and comparing these two to the
scaups I was for sure were Lesser Scaups. These two had large heads and bills
(to far to see the nail though), heads looked to be round, peak in front or flat
(never seen either show a peak to back of head or head look tall and skinny like
that of Lesser). I tried to get some distant pictures and am posting the ones
that are best in focus, all are of the first winter male. Also seen: Ruffed
Grouse

Rosy-Finch. Very large flock, conservative estimate of number. We heard
their wings and then their flight chatter, and then saw them working through
cliffs and steep vegetated slope directly across canyon from us, elevation
approximately 6200'. Have video. Were too far away to capture any details with
still photo. Believe they were gray-crowned due to large number and by comparing
flight chatter to recordings.

Large Buteo. Light morph. Pale head and underparts. Rusty legs. I tried scouting
it down for a photo this week but couldn't find it. I did meet an advanced
birder while trying to locate the Hawk and he confirmed my sighting. He saw the
bird 4 weeks prior to my sighting in the exact same spot. Also, one other birder
saw the Ferruginous two weeks ago a half mile away.

Osprey. Observed flying east along highway for approximately 60 seconds
during roadside bathroom break, approximately 20 seconds through 8x42
binoculars. A winter surprise this far north. I'm accustomed to seeing OSPR this
winter near my work site along to Colorado River near Needles and didn't realize
just how rare this species is in winter this far north. Unfortunately, no
photos. Distinctive white and near-black raptor with long wings with
bent/crooked appearance, white belly, white face with dark eye mask.
Distinguished from BAEA by dark stripe through white face. Distinguished from
buteos by longer, narrower wings. Distinguished from falcons by wider wings,
lacking pointed falcon shape.
