N. Pygmy Owl

["Darren Clark" <riversilt at hotmail dot com>]

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 Tree Sparrows.  These birds were in 
the marshes bordering the Sevier river between Fayette and Gunnison.  My 
in-laws live in Fayette, which is a great place to bird, but I doubt many 
people ever bird this area.  It's a bit out of the way.
