White-throated Sparrow. While trying to get some photos of Scrub-Jays three

striped the other was a Song Sparrow. Both birds looked like to one pictured
though one didn't wish its picture taken as it kept head behind a few twigs.
Birds were up Deep Creek Road in the brush on North side of road just after
crossing over creek. This is about a mile from where we saw one while scouting
for the Morgan CBC in December.

Brenda Brannen (21 Feb 2018) - [ Orem City, UT] - Pinyon Jay. My
first reaction to this jay was the almost uniform grayish blue color and "stub"
tail. There were no contrasting wing bars, eyebrows, undertail coverts, etc. It
was definitely not my Georgia (bright) blue jay nor the Steller's jay--no crest
on this jay, just a rounded head with dark eye. None of the scrub jays,
including Woodhouse's, would fit either because of color differentiations and
longer tails. I am confident that the 2 jays I saw at this location were,
indeed, PIJA's. There was no snow in this area when I arrived 2-18-18, but it
snowed all night that night so that on the 19th snow covered everything,
including bird feeders. On the day I saw the PIJA's, the snow had melted enough
to allow seed to be available in the feeders outside. One of the jays was at a
feeder very close to the glass door where I stood. The other was at a feeder a
little farther away but still in good view. I don't know if the weather change
could have influenced the appearance of these birds or not, but again, by
physical appearance and process of elimination of other jays, I know what I saw
to be Pinyon jays.

Kayla Echols (14 Feb 2018) - [BYU Campus] - Orange-crowned Warbler.
Small, quick-moving bird foraging near a flock of Juncos--about the same size as
the Juncos too, but with a proportionally shorter tail. Whole body
olive-yellow-green in color, including yellow undertail/vent. Very sharp, pointy
bill, with a dark but rather indistinct eye-line and very faint blurry streaking
on the breast. No wingbars or particularly striking field marks besides the
overall yellowish color. They stayed fairly low, sometimes only a foot off the
ground, and I didn't see them venture any higher than about 20 feet.

Rebecca Bonebrake (19 Feb 2018) - [Kolob Ranch, New
Harmony, UT] - Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch. First noticed a different bird in
a loose flock with DEJUs & WCSPs on the gravel driveway. My husband noticed a
reddish brown bird with some pink and a gray head. I saw a russet orangish bird
with lighter colored wings which was larger than the juncos. Saw the large cone
shaped yellow bill. Made me think of the EVGRs seen earlier today but was much
smaller and wrong color. Bird gave us some good looks while perched; it was
tamer than the juncos. Saw definite gray head/cheek with black forehead, noticed
eye ring and scaled feathers on breast when bird faced us. Followed it until we
both got good, close looks with binos. Double checked ID with field guides.
Dismissed black rosy-finch because we saw definite brown color on back and belly
contrasting with the gray head and only saw black on the head.
