Very tame, flew around me back and forth for several minutes. Had a more squarish tail, saw no white on it. Dark back all the way up to just behind back of neck. Did not fly off until I re-started my atv and began to move. It was very close to me, about five or six yards at times.

Mar 2012

Oliver Hansen (31 Mar 2012) - 4 Utah County Birders took advantage of the beautiful weather, landscapes, and birds or Sanpete county.   --Highlights: Log Canyon (dirt road leading to the canyon) - Long-billed Curlew; Fayette - Golden Eagle being chased by a falcon; Wales Reservoir - Common Merganser; Chester Ponds (new hotspot we found) - 12 (probably more) Sand Hill Cranes; Palisade reservoir - Red breasted Merganser; Fayette River bottoms - around 200 Am. Pelicans doing aerial maneuvers, Blue-winged Teal, swallows, Turkey Vultures

Oct 2011

Oliver Hansen (23 Oct 2011) - I spent Friday evening and most of Saturday up on the Wasatch Plateau to hike the San Pete and Emery Co. high points (South Tent Mountain and East Mountain). I started the traverse of the plateau by driving up the canyon just east of Spring City (Spring canyon?) and drove up to Skyline Drive and camped there Friday night. Saturday morning I took the horribly rutted out section of Skyline Drive over to the Tent mountains and climbed both N. and S. Tents. Plenty of the usual birds you would suspect in an aspen/pine forest at 10000 feet. The highlight though, was a huge flock of Mountain Bluebirds (50-100) right up on the saddle between the two peaks...

Feb 2011

Apr 2005

Darren Clark (4 April 2005) - ...I located a Black Phoebe on Sunday. The bird was in the willows lining the Sevier river on the north side of the bridge that is just south and west of Fayette. This seems a little far north of their usual range...

Mar 2002

KC Childs (27 March 2004) - On Wednesday of this week I saw a Eurasian Collared-Dove in Sanpete County. It was in town of Centerfield which is just barley south of Gunnison. I only saw one. But still is interesting to start seeing them more and more frequently across the state.

May 2002

Kevin Colver - (Friday, May 24, 2002) While watching and listening to the Cordilleran Flycatchers near the bridge in Maple Canyon I found a singing Winter Wren about 30 meters above the bridge along the creek on the south side of the dirt road.  Maple Canyon is 6 miles southeast of Fountain Green in San Pete county.  The wren sang at about 10:30 AM today.

Darren Clark - (Sat, 09 Feb 2002) I don't know if this is noteworthy, but this is a slow time of year bird-wise.  I found a Northern Pygmy Owl perched on top of a conifer, in the double row of conifers just north of the Manti Temple (Sanpete County). This was today at 4:30 pm.  Also in Sanpete county were quite a few Bald and Golden Eagles, Rough-legged Hawks, and American Tree Sparrows.  These birds were in the marshes bordering the Sevier river between Fayette and Gunnison.
