[TopOfUtah] Cache Valley Calliope Hummingbird and Willow Flycatcher

[Buck Russell]

Four years ago I saw a Calliope Hummingbird in Denzil Stewart Park in Logan.  The following year I accidentally went back to the park on the same day and saw a Calliope Hummingbird in the same area.  The next year I purposely went back to the park on the same day and saw the Calliope in the same tree, on the same branch. Today is one year later and I again saw the bird in the same tree (different branch).   I know that some birders do not keep a list of what they see, but my lists have added to my birding experience and they reveal this amazing thing, bird migration.  Other birds at the park were a Willow Flycatcher (in the trees above the bridge entrance to the park), Lazuli Bunting, Black-headed Grosbeak, Plumbeous Vireo, MacGillivray's Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and Northern Flicker.  I also saw a Lesser Goldfinch (Texas variety) in the trees below the First Dam on the Logan River.  There was also a Broad-tailed Hummingbird in the area.  
Happy Mothers Day to any of the moms who happen to read this email.
Thanks,
Buck Russell
