Utah trip 8/24-9/3

["Lisa Lister" <dandllister at earthlink dot net>]

Hi there,
	I was the pesky easterner who kept asking questions about all those birds
out there in Utah and was rewarded by a lot of good information from the
folks on Utahbirds. Glenn Barlow joined us birding one day in the high
Uintas and as been in contact with me both before and after the trip. He
asked me to send our trip list to the group. Before I do I want you all to
know we birded with a 4yr old so we did not do any owling and we didn't
bird as hard as we would have before we were parents. Still, I think we did
okay. We had 143 combined species in UT. A couple of days we left the
state, once to WY and once to ID so we didn't bird in UT those days. We
also didn't bird the day we left (9/3).  Here it is. Anything anyone wants
more info on for Utah records, please contact me off the list as I am
signing off after this. It hurts too much seeing all those great migration
reports!!
