I was at Fielding Garr Ranch yesterday and i heard the nighthawk but couldn't see it. Such a great camouflaged bird. I like the format of 100 species per county, but some of the counties are definitely going to be rough going. You should do it😂
Another possibility : a JUVENILE Townsend’s Solitaire. This bird is a medium-sized thrush, the only solitaire native to America north of Mexico 🇲🇽. This sounds more plausible than the White-throated Rock Thrush, because my first search indicates that the White-throated Rock Thrush has a very sizeable range of 1,710,000 square kilometres. It is native and breeds in Manchuria, the Russian Far East and neighbouring areas; it winters in Indochina and southern China. 🇨🇳 The birds are occasionally seen in Japan. (Not likely to be seen in the United States, right ? 😁😁😁😁😆😆)… So the second search sounds better than my first search. Hope it helps. Good luck 🤞
Never seen a moose! Well, I especially like your goal of 100 species per state and the one of 100 per Utah County is cool, too. Where is Antelope Island? Are you doing a separate video for that? I think that'd be good. Was the mystery bird a juvenile thrush? maybe a juvenile robin? (which you saw later)
Moose are pretty cool! A lot bigger in person as well! Antelope Island is West of Farmington, UT. I've done around 4 or 5 Antelope Island videos so far! Just gotta go back a bit! I believe it was a young robin yeah! Good eye!
You are correct that the signs say Bountiful Lake. It’s quite big so lake makes sense to me! eBird hotspot says Bountiful Pond though Wish I wasn’t out of town I would have been there for sure!
Trying to get 100 species in every county is a fun goal! I enjoy slowly working away at county lists too. 100 in each county in my province isn't super realistic because it's so big! But maybe in my lifetime!
I find it scary aswell. I remember I was birding alone in a forest in Germany and all of a sudden a deer of some sort jumped and ran away and it scared the shit out of me lol
Lol, who told you moose were dangerous in mid summer? The lied to you. Male moose start to get aggressive later in the last half of September. Yes female moose could be an issue but will bluff a few times giving you a chance to back off.
@@brighteyedbirding I grew up and live in Northwest B.C. I have had a few run in's with them and it is an experience for sure and yes a little trepidation is there but you get used to it. Moose are easy to read, they give you warnings.
8:19 makes me hungry, off to Johnny's beef
Good luck seeing 100 birds for every county.
Thanks haha, I'm going to need it

They are super hard to see. Sweet, I'll keep it up! Tuesday -> Wasatch County!

Nice video once again
Thanks I appreciate it!

@@brighteyedbirding Oh! Yes, you have tons of videos I haven't seen YET 🙂 Just give me time... ;-)

Wish you could be there! Next time for sure!

It's been a lot of fun. It makes me explore places I would've never gone too before. Hope you can widdle away at it!
I think your juvenile Robin (5:35) is actually a juvenile Hermit Thrush
Very possible for sure! The tail does look quite odd.
The bird looked like an immature American Robin to me.
I definitely agree with you. Good eye!
,the tail looked too short to me for a robin.
@@oregonberry Yeah and that's what is kind of confusing me. However, idk maybe the tail-feathers take a bit to grow in.
looks like a young Townsend’s Solitaire.
Very well good be!
I think I’m in for the morning of 8/17! I just follow your UA-cam, so besides the comments here, where’s the best place to connect for more details?
Amazing!! You can message me on Instagram (@brighteyedbirding), or you can email me at brighteyedbirding@gmail.com
Either way works!
If I saw that mystery bird where I am, I would think it was a young Eastern Bluebird. Where you're at, could it be a Western Bluebird?
Hmm very interesting! Something to consider
Juvenile American Robin. Do you carry bear spray? 🐻 Cheers to 100species in each county!
I agree with you!! No, but I probably should. Only bears out here are black bears so they aren’t as bad. (Very rare here)
Great adventure! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Ah shoot, we're going to be going through there a few days later 😞
Oh dang! Just missed you!
@@brighteyedbirding we're headed through Salt Lake City later today, what are some good spots?
Moose don't like to be on UA-cam.
It's true. One day I will capture one though. There are plenty.
I find it scary aswell. I remember I was birding alone in a forest in Germany and all of a sudden a deer of some sort jumped and ran away and it scared the shit out of me lol
Yeah it's just the fact that something larger than you is bounding around in the woods and most of the time you can't even see what it is.
Are you gonna move in 3 years?
It’s likely yea

Haha absolutely nobody but my own head. I know they aren't aggressive, but I tend to overreact about stuff ;)
