Heather Slayton (26 October 2016) - [Goosenecks SP] - Loggerhead Shrike

Marcia Hafner (18 October 2016) - [Ken Lake] - Osprey. It seems extremely late for osprey to still be passing through but the weather has been unseasonably warm and maybe that is a factor for a late migration. I saw it when it was flying low over the water where I had a close, clear look at its bent-winged flight with the dark wrists and the distinctive eye stripe as it flew by.

SANPETE COUNTY

Bill Slater (6 October  2016) - [Boulge Reservoir] - Gray Jay. Very surprised, on my ATV, didn't have my camera. Definitely not Clark's Nutcracker. Light gray head with dark patch behind eye and a bit behind the head, stubby bill not at all large(long) and pointed like Clark's Nutcracker. Very tame, flew around me back and forth for several minutes. Had a more squarish tail, saw no white on it. Dark back all the way up to just behind back of neck. Did not fly off until I re-started my atv and began to move. It was very close to me, about five or six yards at times.

Joshua Horns (31 October  2016) - [Koosharem Reservoir] - Common Loon

Brook O'Connor (28 October 2016) - [Ivie Creek Rest Area] - Williamson's Sapsucker. 1st year bird. Overall fine black and dusky barring with a dark smudge of bib in upper breast. Head brownish with hazy gray around bveye and face. It behaved like a young bird clinging to an upper trunk of a pinyon pine tree. It did not appear to have any yellow on its belly from what I could see, but the under belly was mostly hidden. I waited for some time but it didn't change position. There was no underside speckling as a flicker. Barring continued back side and underside. It was found just outside the rest area compound in the far back. Also, I first saw it moving up the trunk somewhat like a Brown Creeper would do, then it stopped and hugged the trunk and would not move.
