Re: [birdnet] red-throated loon and white-winged scoters still at Hyrum Reservoir, Ross's geese?

Hi all,

The beach area at Hyrum State Park is about a mile EAST of the main entrance 
to the park, not north as stated by Lu Giddings.

If you walk along the beach, you are also heading east, not north.

Good birding,
Richard
