What an enjoyable weekend!!! It all started with the email from Alona =
Huffaker and the Northern Parula in Springville (Utah Co.). Thanks =
Alona for being such a great hostess and allowing us to view this =
beautiful bird in your yard!!! And good views we did get!!! Anyway, I =
ended up spending 2 1/2 hours at Alona's watching (and watching for!) =
the Parula and putting faces to several of the names that I've seen =
posting on this list. If I hadn't seen another bird this weekend, I =
would have been satisfied! =20
After leaving Alona's, I had planned on birding the road between Scipio =
(Millard Co.) and Redmond, near Salina (Sevier Co.) Because I had spent =
so much time in Springville, my birding time was somewaht limited, but I =
did manage to log 22 species at Scipio Resevoir. Nothing unusual, but I =
don't think I will ever tire of watching the terns hover and plunge into =
the water. Among the birds seen were WHITE FACED IBIS, EARED GREBES, =
CLARK'S GREBES, NORTHERN PINTAILS, PELICANS, BLUE HERONS, and of course =
the FORSTERS TERNS.
6/16
I spent Friday night in Redmond. My wife had been there for a week =
visiting with her sister. I woke up Saturday morning and decided I'd =
bird Redmond Resevoir (Sevier Co). Much the same birds as were at =
Scipio Resevoir, but no terns. I stopped back at the house at 7:30, =
everyone was still asleep, so I headed north of town to do some birding =
along the sagebrush flats. I found several SAGE THRASHERS, SAVANNAH =
SPARROWS, and a YELLOW BREASTED CHAT. I heard the chat long before I =
found it, and knew I had heard that song before but couldn't remember =
what bird sang it! Fortunately, the chat was more than cooperative a =
couple of hours later when I took Lynn by to see it!!
On our way over to Oak City to met my future son-in-laws parents, we =
stopped by Maple Grove campground (Millard Co.), whaich isn't very far =
from Scipio Resevoir. I think I'd like to spend more time birding that =
little campground! In the few minutes we were there I found YELLOW =
WARBLERS, PLUMBEOUS VIREO, CHIPPING SPARROWS, and BREWER'S SPARROWS.
