I saw two pairs of BLUE-WINGED TEAL today at The
North Arm Nature Area of Pineview Reservoir in Weber County. The teal
were along the east side of the area; I was above them looking down
from the Old Highway.
The trail system in The North Arm is flooded as The
North Fork of the Ogden River is over its banks. I was prepared for wet
trails and wore knee-high rubber boots; however, before I crossed the footbridge
over the river I was wading through foot-high water and turned back. The
habitat has changed from a merely deciduous riparian corridor to swamped
forest. The change got my hopes up and I looked for Ivory-billed
Woodpeckers. I didn't find even one. I've heard they're quite
elusive.
