I had a wonderful day of birding today! Went up to Green Canyon first and saw a bunch of BC Chickadees hanging out with some warbles (and maybe a vireo or two), but I couldn't get any IDs on most of them. One looked alot like a Macgillvrays Warbler but I don't quite think I can count that yet, I wan't quite sure.
Then I went down to Brigham City Bird Refuge, and that wasw amazing. Added 6 species!


Added: Double-Crested Cormorant, American Avocet, Western Grebe, American Coot, Great Blue Heron, and Red-Winged Blackbird.

On the way home I saw a Northern Flicker, Ring-Necked Pheasent, and some grouse sp.

Added European Starling. It's kind of ridiculous it took this long to see.

Looking over this, I realized I forgot to add American Goldfinch, which goes right before the California Quail.

You're getting a good list there! It's funny how when you start listing, some really common birds like E. Starling and H. Sparrow don't appear until after some of the much less common species.

Keep up the birding.
