Utah Trip List. April 20-30, 2009
We spent the first day in Arizona, and our last birding hour in Nevada (at Corn Creek). We got no trip birds in NV, though we did give ourselves another chance at Roadrunner there, and missed it again.
“P” means identifiably photographed. “H” means heard only. “(Herman) ” means I, Eva, missed it, which is not surprising since I'm not really a birder.
