[Birdtalk] Bullock's Oriole & Osprey - Cache Valley

[Buck Russell]

My wife and I birded the Hyrum Reservoir area this evening.  In the steep wooded area behind the Hyrum Reservoir dam we found a Bullock's Oriole, Western Tanager, one Evening Grosbeak, Mourning Doves and lots of Black Headed Grosbeaks.   I did my best to turn a female Black Headed Grosbeak into a female Rose Breasted Grosbeak, but my imagination could not close the gap.   Other birds on this end of the reservoir included Yellow Warblers, Magpies, Tree Swallow, Bank Swallow, Western Grebe, and American Robins.  
 
On the trail along the north shore of the reservoir we found a pair of Ospreys.  One was carrying a rather large fish.  The fish was carried in an aerodynamic fashion with the fish head facing forward.  There were also Northern Flickers, Yellow Warblers, Bullock Orioles, Black Headed Grosbeaks and a Red Breasted Nuthatch.  
 
Thanks.
