[Birdtalk] Nemesis Elimination

[Roostertael at aol.com]

Hi,
 
Bob Huntington, Dave Hanscom, and I made a trip to St. George over the  
weekend. We got most of our target birds, Summer Tanager, Gray Vireo, Bell's  
Vireo, Verdin, Phainopepla, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Roadrunner, Black-throated  
Sparrow, Cactus Wren, Scott's Oriole, Common Blackhawk, Grace's Warbler, Lucy's 
 Warbler, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Abert's Towhee, Gambel's Quail, Anna's  
Hummingbird, Crissal Thrasher, Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Inca Dove, and Acorn  
Woodpecker. We also got a couple of unexpected bonuses. A Black and White  
Warbler and a Black-throated Gray Warbler. 
 
I also got to eliminate my number two nemesis bird. We got a good look and  a 
couple of photos of a RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROW. I don't know how many times I  
missed it on trips that it was the main target. Bob had looked for it a couple 
 of years more than I had. Dave got a free ride on it being as this was his 
first  birding trip to the St. George area. 
 
Now if someone will report a Brown Thrasher, I can eliminate my number one  
nemesis bird.
 
Jack Binch
