Greetings!
Julie and I set out to find some Blue Grouse on Friday morning
and find them we did. We saw maybe 25 near Powder Mountain. Most of
them flushed up into the trees, but we did get a prolonged look at two of them
working the side of the road.
We next tried Ogden Bay WMA where there were lots of hunters
and very limited access to water. Same story at Howard Slough
WMA.
Our last stop at Antelope Island gave us a nice surprise in
two Sage Sparrows. We found them by turning right past the marina and
heading toward the Visitors' Center. We parked in the second turnout and
walked down into the sagebrush, kind of in a northwesterly direction. With
limited time to bird Garr Ranch, we found mostly Ruby-crowned Kinglets (along
with one Golden-crowned) and Hermit Thrushes. Along the causeway were lots
of Eared Grebes (including the albino), five Long-billed Curlews and maybe
thirty Sanderling.
