Duchesne County/Eu. Co. Dove, Northern Shrike



Eric Huish and myself went out to Duchesne County to do some birdwatching. The weather was great and we saw lots of fun birds and had a wonderful day out. Some highlights included two Eurasion Collard Doves on the east end of Duchesne City. They were located near the flag and wigwam on the east end of town. Also there was a Northern Shrike along the main road halfway between Bridgerland and Duchesne. Another Northern Shrike was near the town of Tabiona. Also I could not believe the number of Mountain Bluebirds that we saw in the Duchesne area. there were plenty of them. Same with Bald Eagles. Below is a list of places visited and species seen. Not in any particular order. There are directions for some of these places on the website, www.utahbirds.org I hope everyone is having a great time this winter.
