Message: Pomera and I went to Alta for the umpteenth time to search for 
Black Rosy-Finch and finally found one.  There was a small flock of about 6 
in the trees by the feeder of the first house on the by-pass road (entering 
from the top).  It was definitely dark blackish, not the rich brown of the 
grays.

At the Salt Lake City Cemetery we found a Merlin.  At 48th South and 1300 
East we finally found a large flock of Cedar Waxwings, the first we've seen 
in months.  However, we did not find a Bohemian Waxwing in the flock.

As this year comes to a close in a few days I hope you've all gotten your 
fill of birding (ha, ha) and are ready to start all over--it's a great 
hobby!

Good birding y'all,
Julie
