Rufus-backed Robin

["LD tripp" <ltripp29 at hotmail dot com>]

I got to Springdale today at 8:50 AM and the Robin was in the same spot 
where is has been previously reported. It was easily observed from the road. 
I watched it for about 20 minutes feeding on the ground and perching in the 
trees until it moved further back into the orchard out of sight. I came back 
about 11:00 after birding up around Springdale pond but didn't see the bird. 
Getting there before 9:00 AM may be the best time to see it. There was also 
an Oriole in the orchard that I couldn't get a good look at but it appeared 
to be a Bullock's. Keep an eye out for it.

What a great bird for Utah, good luck if you go to look for it.
