Mountain Chickadee - Snake Creek Canyon west of Wasatch SP

Total of 42 species seen.

Went to Mona Reservoir last Thursday (March 20) afternoon for the Black
Scoter, but failed to locate it among the many Coots and other waterfowl.
Sandhill Cranes were seen west of the town of Mona.

Can anyone tell me when the Black Scoter was last seen at Mona Reservoir?
Can the Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches still be found at the Alta feeders?
