Hanna Hummingbird Haven: |
 The 2024 "Hanna
Hummingbird Haven" year is continuing at the cabin of Dena & Jim Reid in Hanna, Utah,. The
Rufus hummingbirds are in great numbers now (15th of July) and
usually start leaving after the 1st week of August, so they are still here
for a while. There are Calliope Hummingbirds coming as well. Dena was in the hospital for 2 months but is back at
the cabin. Jim is taking good care of the hummingbirds and the
doctors are taking good care of Dena. [Blog] We're glad she is back home
she's still on oxygen but is doing well. . Visitors are
welcome!
Mid -Summer 2025 Update: "The season started way slower this
year...But as of July 10, they came in droves. We are up to our 15 +
gallons of nectar a day".
(Note: ."I need to remind people I do not have public restrooms available
and that they need to visit the Hanna store at mile post 37 for those
necessities.…I do not let anyone inside our home. And the river at the
moment is fast , strong, and cold dangerous…")

eBird Links for our Birding Places:
There are description and directions to over 500
birding places on the Utah Birds website. We now have links to the eBird sightings for almost all of them, both in the "index
of birding sites" and on the individual pages describing the
places to bird found on the County Pages.
Through each eBird link you can also find other eBird information for
nearby places, by using the "Hotspot map," so once you've found one
place you can easily find information for other places in the area. |
Types of Bird Nests: |
 Many excellent photos of bird nests, birds nesting
and young birds fresh from their nests, have been sent in by
Utah photographers.
A new article on "Bird Nests and
Nesting Schemes" with some of these photos and information about
eleven different types of nests or nesting schemes has been posted on our
website. A big "thank you" to the photographers who have shared
their photos with us. |
Feature Article: |
 Here's a series of pictures taken by Ernest Harlow
of a Barn Swallow nest in
Brigham City. This shows everything from eggs, to featherless
hatchings, to downy chicks, to feathered chick ready to go, to the empty
feather-lined nest.

Utah Winter Gull Identification: |
 At the October meeting of the Utah County Birders,
Dennis Shirley gave a presentation on identifying
"Utah Winter Gulls,"
which has now been adapted and expanded for the
Utah Birds
website. It's become a "work in process" and we'd like you to take a
look and give us some feedback on how we can improve it -- and you may be
able to learn to better identify the
winter gulls in Utah at the
same time. |
Bird Humor:
 Here
are some links to the "Bird
Humor" section of our feature pages:
- "Change is in the Air" (A stealthy
Starling is up to something).
- "Mom's Favorite" (How
you can tell you're NOT).
- "Snack-lifting "
(A clever little gull is hooked on junk food).
- "Heavenly Smiley Faces"
(Smiley faces are use in emails and...)
