[Birdtalk] Beaver Mountain birds

[Ryan O'Donnell]

I went snowshoeing at Beaver Mountain (Cache County) on Sunday. We
didn't see anything too remarkable. The biggest surprise was a flock of
California Gulls flying over, far from any open water or trash, and
probably headed to Bear Lake. We saw three subspecies of Dark-eyed Junco
(mostly Pink-sided with at least one Slate-colored and one Oregon),
including one partial leucistic bird with white patches throughout its
plumage. There was also one Ruby-crowned Kinglet flashing its crest.
Here are a few photos.
