["Utah Birds" <utahbirds at excite dot com>]

2003 was a great year for birding in Utah!  Many thanks to those who helped to make it a such a good one. Especially:

Thanks to Weldon Whipple for keeping the List Serves (Birdnet, etc.) and the Web Site running and to Eric Huish for doing the State Calendar, Birdnet Reports, and handle Hotline Messages for the website (in addition to doing a great job with the UC Birders Newsletter).

Thanks to those who have sent in bird photos.  Over 220 new bird photos were sent in last year.  Photos of 31 new species ("Most Wanted") were add to the Photo Gallery for a total of 364 (of 426) species now with photos.

Thanks to those who have sent in write-ups and photos of birding places around Utah.  We now have a list of about 324 birding places with photos of 95 of them (some absolutely gorgeous pictures).

Thanks to those who have submitted sighting records to the Records Committee.  Forty one records were received last year.  Virtually all records that have been submitted since 1999, many with interesting photos, are available to peruse on the Records Committee pages.

Thanks to those who have sent in there list numbers.  It's interesting to follow the birding activities of follow birders in the many birding areas of Utah, our country and all over the world.

Thanks to those who have reported birds sightings, shared their birding experiences and contributed to the pleasant and exciting activity of birding in Utah.

Good birding to all in 2004,
