Powder Mountain Ski Resort

Powder Mountain Feeders

November 23, 2012
After Antelope Island, my dad and I decided to go to Powder Mountain. We arrived at about 3:00 PM and first thing, we found a good looking Clark's Nutcracker perched in a tree above the feeders.

At the same time a big flock of Gray-Crowned Rosy-Finches were associating with each other all around the feeder and in the trees. (No Black Rosy-Finches mixed in)

Interior Gray-Crowned Rosy-Finch

 The best bird of the day was for sure the Common Redpoll. This was a lifer for me and a Rare bird for the state of Utah.

It was seen with the Rosy-Finches at the feeder and surprisingly was not very shy. It gave great looks and picture opportunities.





Another Good bird at the feeders was this Stellar's Jay.
