| How to find: |
Listed as a fairly common permanent resident this species is usually
associated with mature forests. Can be found locally along the Alpine and
Nebo scenic loops as well as in the Uintah Mountains. I have observed it
consistently at Aspen Grove up the road from Sundance Resort and at Big
Springs (if you don’t mind a one mile hike) in the south fork of Provo
Canyon. ~ Merrill Webb |
