Abstract:

New distributional records or the status for 33 species of birds that have occurred within Utah, adjacent southeastern Idaho, or along the border of states surround Utah are reviewed. Four species, the Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis), Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus), Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus), and Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) represent new Utah breeding records established within the past decade and they are commented upon. One other, the Black-tailed Gnatcatcher (Polioptila melanura), may be breeding in Utah. The Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) may likewise be breeding in southeastern Idaho adjacent to Utah.
