[Birdtalk] CERULEAN WARBLER...

[Tim Avery]

Let me start off by saying that this is not a report of a Cerulean Warbler...  THIS IS NOT A REPORT.  

This email is the kind of email that gets many Utah birders excited to get ou in the field and chasing rare birds, and it seem slike its getting to that time of year again where posts start to dwindle, and many birds go un-reported, and left unknown to the general public.  Even if you are jsut posting about birds in your backyard, or on a quick trip to the park, that information is often useful to at least one other person on this list.  Inofrmation about the first sighting of an Oregon Dark-eyed Junco each fall is interestign to see how it compares to other years, or the last report of a Rufous Hummingbird each fall.  No matter how mundane a sighting may be to you, it may hold some interest ot others on the list.

I often get phone calls from birders telling me about a bird here or a bird there, and I am very thankful for all those direct calls.  But I think some of these calls would also be interesting to the general public.  Take for instance a very reliabel report of a PINYON JAY in Salt Lake County yesterday.  This is a bird that in the the county is hard if not impossible to get most years.  

And rumor has it that yesterday, both a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW and a SWAMP SPARROW were seen at the Salt Lake International Center.  Whether or not this is true I don't know, but both those birds would draw some attention from birders around Salt Lake, and maybe even to the north and south.


In any event what I am getting at, is please post your sightings!  People who complain about getting emails about starlings and this and that have the option to DELETE, thats the great thing about email.  So please  please please share those sightings!

Good Birding
