[Birdtalk] Fw: eBird Report - Butterfield Canyon , 6/14/08

[Tim Avery]

This morning, Jeff Bilsky and I birded around Butterfield Canyon, and up the 
Bacchus Highway (Salt Lake County west bench).  Saw a couple Eurasian 
Collared-Dove in Herriman.  In Butterfield Canyon we saw and or hear most of 
the usual suspsects.  NO Fox Sparrows, Green-tailed Towhee, Bullock's 
Oriole, Red-naped Sapsucker, Mountain Bluebird or Juniper Titmouse however. 
At the top of the canyon a flock of 30 California Gulls was circling coming 
form the north, that was odd.

Along the Bacchus Highway we had Lark and Brewer's Sparrow, and at Cougar 
Park in Kearns, Western Kingbird and a very territorial male Black-chinned 
Hummingbird, that did its dive display for almost a minute in front of us. 
A complete list from Butterfield Canyon is below.

Good Birding
