I'm back in town for Thanksgiving and spent a few days in Zion National 
Park with my family.  I didn't do much birding (had other priorities), 
but I happened to notice the following.  Zion Canyon itself was pretty 
quiet, but there were some nice birds on the Kolob Terrace Road to Kolob 
Reservoir and Lava Point.  The road is still entirely clear and open, 
there is some patchy snow on the ground above ~ 8000 ft.

Lava Point:

Hairy Woodpecker
Red Breasted Nuthatch
Common Raven
GOLDEN EAGLE
CALIFORNIA CONDOR (couldn't make out any tags or numbers; there was very 
extensive white under the wings, but the head was still gray)

Kolob Res.

BALD EAGLE (adult)
LEWIS' WOODPECKER
Mtn. Bluebird (many)
Red-tailed Hawk
N. Harrier (?, just a glance)
many waterfowl, but I didn't look too close

Wildcat Trailhead:

Juniper Titmouse
BC Chickadee
Steller's Jay (audible only)
