Is anyone aware of any old Christmas Bird Count areas established for areas west of Vernal? Sometimes CBC areas go dormant and I am curious of potential...
Hi Kevin, There was a CBC in Roosevelt from 1951 to 1958 according to the records available from the National CBC website. All of the CBC's for Utah (along...
I looked into old circles a few years back using the sources Milt suggested. The Roosevelt circle was right in town, if I remember right. It would offer a...
Hi - As regional CBC editor, I sure support more circles and better coverage for Utah. Colorado has about as many circles as my Wyoming/Utah region, so more...

Happy New Year! My first bird of 2009 was a lone, cold Oregon junco sitting in the apple tree by my feeders. He was soon joined by a hoard of siskins, house...
Kathy - I'm sorry I will not be able to make it this year (as usual). I really wanted to come but I was sent to Montana to help capture some bighorn sheep at...
I've been watching my feeders more over the holidays. Mostly I have the usual suspects - white-crowned sparrows, Am goldfinches, pine siskins, house finches,...
I was similarly surprised by a lesser goldfinch that was a regular here in the winter of 2006-7. Recently have had one gray-headed junco here too, and a lone...
It was a beautiful day to be out birding. We ended up with 39 species and 1385 individuals, which is a more or less average count (species totals over the...
Thanks for sending the Ouray CBC stuff. Hope the Dinosaur/Jensen CBC went well - bet it was cold. Sorry I missed it, but it was nice to spend some time with...

no problem. We ended up with 8 people which is pretty good for the Jensen circle. Not very many secondary roads were drivable so I think we did OK with...
I finally saw a merlin in Vernal. Other birders seem to see them around here every winter but I never did - til one was kind enough to fly in front of me and...
I wanted to remind everyone that the GBBC is next weekend (Friday thru Monday). This is a really simple count to do - just spend 15 minutes (more if you want)...
Ouray NWR Annual Open House is May 9, 7:30 am - 12:00 pm in honor of Migratory Bird Day. We are a bit short handed this year so if you would like to volunteer...

I had a bird at my feeder in Price today that I would swear was a finch, but was yellow. Can anyone let me know what I saw? I'm attaching a photo, and will put...
... Looks like a house finch variant--we get a lot of orange-tinted ones in Vernal, and at least once I've seen one that was as yellow as this. It was even...
