Weston Smith (16 Jan 2018) - [East Canyon Reservoir] - 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

TOOELE  COUNTY


Bryant Olsen (23 Jan 2018) - [Stansbury Park] - Hooded Merganser, Prairie Falcom

Mike Malmquist (15 Jan 2018) - [West Stansbury Mtn] - Gray-crowned 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.

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.

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.
