[Birdnet] Indigo Bunting, RC Sparrow

[JOEL and KATHY BEYER]

Friday afternoon May 22 we found a singing male Indigo Bunting at Zion National Park (Washington Co.).  It was at the Hop Valley trailhead, located along the Kolob Terrace road.  We also saw an Indigo Bunting on Thursday May 14 at Welcome Springs on the Beaver Dam Slope (off the Lytle Ranch road).
Friday morning we had a close encounter with a singing Rufous-crowned Sparrow at the O.C. Tanner Ampitheatre in Springdale.

As an aside, we would highly recommend a pelagic trip out of San Diego with SoCal Birding.  It was great fun with lots of good birds and people.  Plus we hooked up later with Paul Lehman, Guy McCaskie, et al., at Rosencranz Nat'l Cemetery and saw a first San Diego County record Great Crested Flycatcher.  Cool!
