birdie 🦢 #137: 🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨 I'm pretty terrible at this family. I have photographed this bird before, though.

I almost entered it for the third guess, but I went with the other bird that looks similar to my second guess.

Today, we drove from Henderson to Beaver and made two stops for birds: Tonaquint Nature Center and Quail Lake. I also submitted a few incidental checklists along the way. Nothing new, although there were a lot of Abert's Towhees at the first stop.

Trip report: https://ebird.org/tripreport/76508 My mother wanted to go on another trip, this time to the Great Salt Lake area. Areas that we will likely check out: St. George Quail Creek State Park Tonaquint Nature Center Salt Lake City Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge Antelope Island Farmington Bay Utah Lake Other places we're considering: Bear Lake Wildlife Management Area Fontenelle Reservoir Fish Springs Pahranagat Kolob Reservoir Snow Canyon We're likely not going to Zion, Ouray, or Lamoille Canyon due to time constraints. We haven't decided where we're stopping on the way back yet. Here are the target birds for the year list, of which many I also need photos. Some of these are only in a few specific locations. Black-billed Magpie Ring-necked Pheasant California Quail Sandhill Crane Marbled Godwit Caspian Tern (new) Long-billed Curlew (new) Rough-legged Hawk (new) Ruffed Grouse Evening Grosbeak American Dipper Canyon Wren California Condor (new) A variety of owl species

At 328 with two short trips to nearby places still planned this year, 360 is still a solid goal. I've been lucky to have family finance the lodging and rental cars on previous trips to keep the costs down. I feel like getting 400+ in the ABA area would require some meticulously planned trips without breaking the bank.

What a tease.

birdie 🦉 #134: 🟥🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛ I should've gotten it in my first guess.
