John Stevens (27 Nov 2007) - Spring City, Utah - During this Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 22-25th) we were watching our backyard feeders and noticed a new bird feeding on the ground with our White-crowned Sparrows and others... a Harris's Sparrow. He was here all weekend, and is still around.

Bruce Robinson (19 Sep 2005) - I spent last week in the Mt Pleasant-Ephraim-Manti area and some of the highlight birds include: Northern Goshawk (LIFER!) about 3 miles up Manti Canyon. ...At the Sanpete County Fairgrounds in Manti was a ...Cassin's Vireo...Within the city limits of Mount Pleasant I found 2 Eurasian Collared Doves (have they been reported in Sanpete Co. yet???)

Darren Clark (4 April 2005) - ...I located a Black Phoebe on Sunday. The bird was in the willows lining the Sevier river on the north side of the bridge that is just south and west of Fayette. This seems a little far north of their usual range...

KC Childs (27 March 2004) - On Wednesday of this week I saw a Eurasian Collared-Dove in Sanpete County. It was in town of Centerfield which is just barley south of Gunnison. I only saw one. But still is interesting to start seeing them more and more frequently across the state.

Kevin Colver - (Friday, May 24, 2002) While watching and listening to the Cordilleran Flycatchers near the bridge in Maple Canyon I found a singing Winter Wren about 30 meters above the bridge along the creek on the south side of the dirt road. Maple Canyon is 6 miles southeast of Fountain Green in San Pete county. The wren sang at about 10:30 AM today.
February 2002
Darren Clark - (Sat, 09 Feb 2002) I don't know if this is noteworthy, but this is a slow time of year bird-wise. I found a Northern Pygmy Owl perched on top of a conifer, in the double row of conifers just north of the Manti Temple (Sanpete County). This was today at 4:30 pm. Also in Sanpete county were quite a few Bald and Golden Eagles, Rough-legged Hawks, and American Tree Sparrows. These birds were in the marshes bordering the Sevier river between Fayette and Gunnison.
