Message: Pomera and I birded around Croyden (N of I-84 near Henefer), East 
Canyon, etc. today.  We found 2 flocks of turkeys in Croyden, approximately 
100 birds.  We also saw a flock of about 20 Chukars in the same area.  East 
Canyon had absolutly no loons or scoters, but we saw 5 male Hooded 
Mergansers and one female, 2 Barrow's Goldeneye, 4 Golden Eagles harrassing 
each other near the east inlet where Ut65/66 divide.  Near Coalville we saw 
4 Bald Eagles, 2 adults and 2 immatures.  One of the adults was standing on 
some kind of dead critter feeding (too far away to tell what it was),  and 
the other adult was on top of a utility pole calling and flying off every 
once in a while to chase off the 2 immature eagles.  Quite interesting 
behavior.  I've never heard Bald Eagles calling before.  We saw American 
Crows in Morgan and Summit Co.  We saw one Shrike that I think was a 
Loggerhead.

Good birding y'all,
Julie
