2.  

I was fortunate to see all of the target birds on at East Canyon (Allen

Condie and Pomera Fronce were also there).  On Boulder Mountain I
followed Dennis Shirley's excellent directions and located the Acorn
Woodpecker, a large flock of Wild Turkeys was within 100 feet of the
Acorn Woodpecker's tree, red breasted nuthatches, mountain and
black-capped chickadees near the ranger's host station on Highway 12,
and just south of Grover, two large flocks of Pinyon Jays.  A Pygmy
Nuthatch was not found.  My wife and I shared birding information on
Friday night with Pomera Fronce and Julia vanMoorhem on Friday night at
a Torrey restaurant.

Yesterday (Nov. 5) turned out to be an excellent birding day:
the White Winged Scoter (Lois Clark was also there) at the Orem Water
Treatment Plant,  Reed Stone's female Wood Duck near the Provo River,  
a Merlin at Utah Lake State Park, the Red-necked Grebe at the Orem 
Landfill.
