[TopOfUtah] Indigo bunting and Chestnut-sided Warbler

[Jason Pietrzak]

Milt,

If you'd gone to Capitol Reef on Wednesday and Calf Creek Thursday, we would
have birded together!

I too saw the Indigo Bunting, but I missed the Black Phoebe. You and others
may be interested to know, however, that that Black Phoebe has hung out near
that bridge reliably since spring this year and has been in that same area
for years according to the park bird-guy, so it's a place to see it
reliably.

Missed the Chestnut-sided though... sweet find!

Good birding,

Jason
