Pinyon Jays - Juab County

["Torrey, Jack A" <Jack dot A dot Torrey at williams dot com>]

For two years in a row we've found PINYON JAYS in the exact 
same location while driving down to the Snow Goose Festival in 
Delta. Going west from Nephi on Highway 132, after you drive 
across the valley and enter the first mountain pass, the north side 
of the road changes from dead trees to live pinyon. About halfway 
up on the right under the power poles there was a small (~12) flock 
of jays.  On Sunday March 3rd, around 4:30 p.m. they were moving 
west (up canyon and hill) and constantly calling.  They were seen 
from the road in the same place last year, just west of mile marker 
28, before the yellow 60 mph curve sign.  There's an obvious place 
to pull over as an old dirt road cuts across a wash.

We enjoyed the Black Phoebes along with the Snow Geese at the 
reservoir, as well as the bobcat we saw crossing the road between 
Oak City and Leamington!
