(Emails from Rick Fridell, 12 Oct 2008)

Hello,

This morning (10/12) I observed a female Black-throated Blue Warbler in St. George (Washington Co.). The warbler was with a mixed flock of mostly Yellow-rumped Warblers, a handful of Orange-crowned Warblers, and two Wilson's Warblers. Surprisingly, as I was watching the warbler, a Vaux's
Swift flew over very low, and circled a few times before disappearing.  Yesterday's storm appeared to bring a lot of birds. Also of note, I observed a female Williamson's Sapsucker, a few Red-breasted Nuthatches and Mountain Chickadees this morning in St. George.

Regards,
