[Birdtalk] Fish Springs, UOS Quick Chase

[Steve Carr]

The UOS Quick Chase to Fish Springs, attended by 8 birders, also saw the Painted Bunting at the picnic site within minutes upon arrival at about 10:15 a.m. today.  A lifer for most and a state bird for all but Larene, who had seen it last week.  Most of the other birds mentioned by Steve Coleman were also observed.

A couple of fleeting glimpses of the possible/probable female Scarlet Tanager were seen, not at the picnic site but at the Hqs area.  Unlike the Bunting, which made itself very obvious time and again, the "Tanager" kept to herself in the higher canopy of the cottonwoods, often flying from one set of trees to another.  

A goodly flock of Chukars (mostly chicks) was seen all around the Hqs. buildings.
