Hi ALL,
A midweek trip to Washington County resulted in good times and sightings. Of the hundred or so birds recorded the best were:
Cassins Kingbird - Zions N. P., East Entrance
Northern Goshawk - Zions N. P., Lava Point area
Spotted Owl - Zions N. P., East Rim Trail
Rufous-crowned Sparrow - Beaver Dam Slope
Common Blackhawk - Beaver Dam Wash, adult and two ready-to-fledge young in
nest
CALIFORNIA CONDOR - Zions N. P., Lava Point/Kolob Reservoir area. Three
immature birds seen at close range, circling at eye
level, with flock of turkey vultures. The wing bands
radio wires, and the number 48 was easily seen on
the under wing of one bird. A great experience!!
Notable misses: Zone-tailed Hawk - A day at Lava Point couldn't produce it.
Indigo Bunting - I've checked every location known to man, but no luck
Bendires Thrasher - Not even a hint of this bird.
P.S. I just had my first Rufous Hummingbird at my feeders. It was a blazing adult male.
The fall migration has officially begun..
