Trip to Mirror Lake Highway



Yesterday Reed Stone and I met at Provo at went up the Mirror Lake Highway, as far as Butterfly Lake.  At Bald Mountain we had the pleasure of meeting a Leo Weigand, who was visiting from Maryland.  His companion was from New Mexico.  Somehow I recognized his name.  It seems he has a list of over 750 on the ABA North American List.  He was looking for a Canada Jay.  Together we saw a Clark's Nutcracker at Butterfly Lake.
 
Birds seen by Reed and I included in the following:
 
Lincoln Sparrow
Yellow Warbler (feeding young)
Northern Flicker
Clark's Nutcracker
Pine Grosbeak (Mirror Lake)
Chipping Sparrow
Three-toed Woodpecker (both m. & f. at nest @ Trial Lake)
 
Due a a stomach upset on my part we had to cut the trip short.  However, it was a beautiful day to be in the Uintahs.
No Gray Jay or Williamson's Sapsucker.
