Title: Steeerike Three!!!!

Happy New Year.

The Dixie Birders are going to try their luck finding the Varied Thrush and
the female Yellow-throated Warbler, both found on the Zion CBC.

If interested in tagging along, join us at the Hurricane McDonald's at noon.

Cheers. Oh, good birding Bruce!


Yeah, well we struck out. Cal and Sharon Andrus accompanied us, but even with seven good eyes we couldn't turn up no Yellow-throated Warbler, nor no Varied Thrush. 'Course this here birder went off and forgot his eyes, so maybe it was only 5 good eyes.

No wonder we couldn't get the thrush. Marshall Topham informs usins that he saw it way up East Fork of the Virgin in some dark, secret place owned by somebody livin' in a tree or something near Shunesburg. Or was it on property owned by Jim Tree??? Anyways, it's guarded tighter than Fort Knox, or your sisters... never mind! If you stand on the Eagle Crags Trail you can see it way down yonder.

We did encounter 6 Brown Creepers, 3 Dippers, 1 Black-capped and 1 Mtn Chickadee; and other common run-of-the-mill birds. Someone recently said "That a day with a Creeper was a day well spent". Or something like that.

Time to go, huh? Bye!!
