[Birdnet] last day of Utah birding vacation

[Connie Norheim]

We found our lifer Black Rosy Finches at Bald Mountain on our last day of 
our Utah vacation. Thanks so much to Bill & Debbi Compton for their 
hospitality and for escorting us around today. We were at Bald Mountain by 
7:30 AM and went to the bowl area that has the rock cliffs on the left and 
the spruce trees on the right with a couple ponds in between. We had to keep 
reminding ourselves to take Mark Stackhouse's advice and be patient. 
Although we saw 3 dark birds fly over from the trees to the cliff, it wasn't 
a positive ID. So we continued to scan the cliffs and the tree tops with 
spotting scopes, and finally I found one perched on top of a spruce tree 
that 3 of us got to see before it flew.

No luck with the Juniper Titmouse, though we had great looks at a male and 
female Williamson's Sapsucker feeding young at a nest hole, and great looks 
at another 3 Toed Woodpecker at Mirror Lake. Also found some Bushtits and 
Brown Creepers.

Happy Birding.
