Greetings!
Dana Green and I birded Capitol Reef National
Park earlier this week. We first went to Garfield County to look for
the Acorn Woodpecker and were delighted to find him right in
the same location where he has been seen for so many months. We found many
other good birds along Highway 12 including Western and Mountain
Bluebirds, Grace's Warblers, Clark's Nutcrackers and three male
Williamson's Sapsuckers (at the Wild Cat Visitors'
Center).
There were many great birds in Capitol Reef as well including
Ash-throated, Cordilleran, Gray and Willow Flycatchers, Yellow-breasted
Chats, Juniper Titmouse, White-thoated Swifts, Black-throated Gray Warblers,
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and a beautiful Black-throated
Sparrow.
