[Craig Fosdick]

A first-winter THAYER'S GULL was at the Logan Mitigation Ponds (Sue's Ponds)
today, and has probably been there since at least 11/24/08.  The ROSS'S
GOOSE continues at the Logan Mitigation Ponds (Sue's Ponds); this bird also
was first seen 11/24/08.  Few other highlights from today....a female HOODED
MERGANSER (not so common in Cache Co.) was at Hyrum State Park.

Checklists below.

Good birding, Craig.
