N. Waterthrush, etc.

[Joel D Beyer <twobirders at juno dot com>]

Back from a nice week camping in southern Utah, with a total of 172
species seen.  A couple of the more interesting sightings, somewhat
belatedly:

Washington County:
On the Lytle Ranch road, at the turnoff to Welcome Springs, there is a
small pond.  A Northern Waterthrush was skulking there on Sunday.  Also
White-winged Dove, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Pinyon Jay and Roadrunner.
Blue-winged Teal at the north end of Gunlock Reservoir.

Sevier County:
Numerous Eurasian Collared Doves in Salina.

Utah County:
Thursday, three Purple Martins flying over River Lane (west of
Springville).

The flooding Sevier river was quite a sight as well.
