Nov 2012

Rick Fridell (14 Nov 2012) - Yesterday afternoon (11/13), I stopped by Otter Creek Reservoir.  Unfortunately, I did not have much time as there were large numbers of waterbirds throughout the reservoir.  In the short time I was there, I saw 19 species of waterfowl.  Highlights included: Tundra Swans, White-winged Scoter (adult female), Red-necked Grebe, Sandhill Cranes, Thayer's Gull (first cycle)

Nov 2011

Rick Fridell ( 15 Nov 2011) - ... Otter Creek, as usual, hosted high numbers of birds (including fair numbers of waterfowl, thousands of grebes, and surprisingly large numbers of gulls). The highlight for me was a beautiful adult Sabine's Gull; the lastest Sabine's Gull and the first adult I've seen in Utah.

Nov 2008

Rick Fridell (13 nov 2008) -  Work took me around to some seldom visited southern Utah spots the last couple of days, and fortunately I had a little time to scope Panguitch Lake and Otter Creek Reservoir. I really wish I could have spent more time looking around these seldom birded lakes. The highlights included: Otter Creek State Park (Piute County) - 11/13/08 8 Common Loons1, Black Scoter (juvenile)2, Surf Scoters (juveniles), 1 Herring Gull (first-winter)...

Nov 2007

Rick Fridell - This afternoon (11/07) I had the opportunity to stop by a couple seldom birded southern Utah lakes...Highlights included: ...Otter Creek State Park (Piute Co.) Surf Scoter 11 - adult male; 10 juveniles -  Black Scoter 2 - female; juvenile - Red-throated Loon - juvenile Common Loon 20 Northern Goshawk - adult
