This afternoon I decided to spend my lunch time in Big Cottonwood Canyon, I
mean how could I not with such fantastic weather?  There were numerous
TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE between the mouth and Storm Mountain.  I saw 6 or 7 and
probably heard another 10 birds calling.  The best bird was a NORTHERN
PYGMY-OWL that was "singing" at the Ledgemere Picnic Area  (the first picnic
area on the right (south) side of the road heading up the canyon).  At one
point I thought there may have been two dueting, as I kept hearing what
sounded like a 2nd bird further up the hill side.  The river was just a tad
to much noise to be sure.

Good Birding
