Deer Creek Reservoir

[hanscom at cs dot utah dot edu (Dave Hanscom)]

Lots of new birds for 2005 today.  The loons, osprey, turkey vultures, and
eared grebes have returned to Deer Creek and the Heber Valley.  And lots of
sandhill cranes, too.  I also saw a wren just west of the bridge across the
Provo River at the north end of the reservoir (on SR-113 south of Midway)
that I'm quite sure is a Bewick's.  It had a white eye stripe, was light
underneath, and pure brown on top with no stripes that I could see.  It was
flitting around in the bushes beside the river, and not being very coopera-
tive about sitting still while I checked it out.

Spring is definitely here!
