Birding Throughout Southwest Utah for the First Time

This is the start of my weekend of birding in Southwest Utah. It was an adventure filled with lifers, incredible birds, and beautiful Utah views! Wow I should have gotten down to Southwest Utah sooner! There are so many new birds there for me to see, as well as the chance to knock a few birds of my Birds of Utah challenge. The desert habitat and warmer climates offer a different opportunity than I am used to in the Salt Lake area. I went from the higher elevation town of Cedar City, to areas around St. George, and even out to the Beaver Dam Wash at the Western Border of Utah. I hope you enjoy the adventure.
