Common Redpoll - Fish Springs CBC

["Colby Neuman" <scythebill83 at hotmail dot com>]

Terry Sadler, Dana Green and I found a Common Redpoll on the Fish Springs 
CBC today.  It was in the salt cedar (tamarisk) patch along the Pony Express 
Road in between Fish Springs NWR and Callao.  I can't remember the exact 
mileage, but I believe the tamarisk patch was about 12 miles west of the 
Fish Springs NWR headquarters along the Pony Express Road (about 1/2 mile 
west of where the power lines cross the Pony Express Road).  However, this 
bird appears it will follow suite with all the other redpoll reports this 
year (a one day wonder).  Just as we were about to leave, the bird flew 
overhead and headed northeast out across the desert.  Anyway, we had awesome 
looks (and Terry was able to snap a few photos, too).  I don't know the 
final total for the CBC, but I think it will definitely be higher than the 
past few years.  Other highlights of the day included a Bewick's Wren (seen 
by Terry), White-faced Ibis (seen by Jay Banta), Juniper Titmouse, and Great 
Egret.  It's good to be back and as always...

THE BEST OF GOOD BIRDING!!!
