An adult RED-SHOULDERED HAWK was seen at Callao, west of Fish Springs, on Tuesday and Wednesday, 08/21 and 08/22 (RF). The bird was in the fields near the Callao schoolhouse.
An immature CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER was among an impressive number of "good" birds which have been seen along River Lane, near the mouth of the Spanish Fork River, in the past week.

Most of the birds reported from this area have been in an area where the road parallels the river just past the end of the fields. Some flagging, placed by birders, marks places along the road where good birds have been seen.
