[Birdtalk] Arches survey

[Tim Avery]

That should have read Arizona and New Mexico, not Utah and New Mexico.  Here 
is more detailed information about Utah's lone accepted sighting (in 2000, 
not the 90's also):

http://www.utahbirds.org/RecCom/2000/2000_02.htm

I don't know if Chuck Larue still monitors this list, but if he does, he may 
have more information fromm the Navajo Reservation in Southeast Utah.

Good Birding
