Veery Sightings

[<utahbirds at netscape dot com>]

I just happened to be working on a new "comprehensive" sightings list. (combining the Records Committee list, the unconfirmed sightings list and David Wheeler's list).  Here's what I've got for Veery Sightings since 1983:

 - 21 Aug 2002 - backyard in Draper by Sid Westerman |Hotline Report|
 - 4 Jun 1999 - (Below Jordanelle Dam?), Provo River. reported mist-netted by DWR
 - 26 May 1996 - Forest north of Willard, Box Elder Co., by Mark Stackhouse and two otheres (seen, but NOT heard)
 - 23 Jun 1995 - Below Jordanelle Dam, Heber Valley, Wasatch Co., by Ned Hill (heard)  
 - Summer 1991 - Pine View Reservoir, Weber Co.,  by several people (seen and hear singing)
 - 19,21,22 Jun, 3 Jul 1990 - Pine View Reservoir, Weber Co, by Arnold Smith, Craig Kneedy (pair - sang) 
 - 21 May 1983 - Ranch at Antelope Island, Davis Co., by Donald A. Hadley, John Belman, others (adult)

Before that (in the first half of the last century), there were quite a few sightings along the Provo River.  The sightings below the Jordanelle Dam in 1999 and 1995 are kind of in that tradition.

It would be nice to see a Veery (or hear one) one of these days.  We have several good places to look.
