Message: At around 9:30 a.m., May 14, Lonny Boring, Dennis Brooks, Christi 
Carmichael, Willy Dunne, and Bob Showler saw and heard a Northern Parula at 
Springdale Pond (behind the Switchback Restaurant in Springdale).  I 
couldn't locate it this following morning.

On May 13 a park visitor reported a male Blue-throated Hummingbird along the 
Riverside Walk in Zion National Park (specific locations unspecified).  He 
described a "large hummer, dark throat, dark underparts, white on tail and 
green back fading into bronze rump."  He described it as feeding on insects 
near the Virgin River.  No park staff have been able to confirm the report 
as of this date.
