104. Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Cam's Shot: Taken at Home on January 24, 2021 We spent a snowy Sunday morning watching our feeders. Cam spotted this bird and as I saw it and was about to tell him what it was he yelled out, "Ruby-crowned Kinglet"! He had zoomed his camera in and saw the red center stripe on the head.
103. Western Gull
Cam's Shot: Taken at Farmington Bay WMA on January 23, 2021 Sometimes the photos don't tell the whole story! I'll share a shot I was able to take through my spotting scope which isn't much better, but it shows the details more clearly. This bird is a really good bird in Utah. The first record of this species inland was from December 2006 when Colby Neuman and I found and 3W bird in Salt Lake County. Subsequently, I found birds every year up through January 2017, when the last Western Gull reported in Utah was seen. This bird represents the first report since January 24, 2017! Right when I spotted this bird Cam was ready to head home and I told him I needed to put the scope on a bird that would be new for his year. He was okay to wait a few more minutes at that point and when I confirmed the ID of this distant bird (300 yards), I helped him get the bird in the viewfinder for a "recorded" shot.
