More Mirror Lake Highway Birds

["Kathleen Robins" <farm at softcom dot net>]

We were interested in hearing about the birds that Jack Binch, Lu 
Giddings, and Bob Huntington were seeing on the Mirror Lake Highway Road 
(Utah Highway 150) over the last few days.  On Sunday (June 5th) we were 
also birding the Mirror Lake Highway, but over on the North Slope side 
at Sulphur Campground (MM 39, elevation 9,065 feet, cold and a little 
rainy). 

We saw the following: 

American Robin 
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 
Dark-eyed Junco 
Wilson's Warbler (tons of them!!)
Yellow-rumped Warbler 
Broad-tailed Hummingbird 
Red-naped Sapsucker 
Song Sparrow 
Chipping Sparrow 
Northern Flicker 
Townsend's Solitaire 
Cassin's Finch 
Mountain Chickadee 

We also birded on the dam end of Whitney Reservoir as well as on the 
nearby Mill City Creek drainage (about 35 miles south of Evanston, 
Wyoming and 9 miles off of Mirror Lake Highway on dirt roads, elevation 
9,367 feet).

We saw the following:

AMERICAN PIPIT (small flock, most in paler adult breeding plumage, life 
bird for both of us) 
Osprey 
Mountain Blue Bird
Prairie Falcon
Killdeer
Northern Harrier
American Robin
Chipping Sparrow
Wilson's Warbler
Mallard Duck
White-crowned Sparrow
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Dark-eyed Junco
Red-tailed Hawk
