We will meet at 7 AM on May 7th at the Payson Wal-Mart. We will meet in the parking lot on the west side of Quick-Quack to go out to Soldiers Pass and see what Pinyon Juniper birds have arrived including birds like Black-throated Sparrow, Sagebrush Sparrow, Gray Flycatcher, Gray Vireo, Burrowing Owl, and so many other fun birds. We will hopefully be back to Payson Wal-Mart no later than 1:00.

We will meet on May 31 at 7 AM for a fun Saturday bird trip. We will meet at the Palisade Park Park-and-Ride in Orem near the mouth of Provo Canyon. We will see what we can find as we make a loop starting and ending at the mouth of Provo Canyon. We will drive up Provo Canyon, then up the Alpine Loop, down American Fork Canyon, and back around the front of Timpanogos to end up back at the mouth of Provo Canyon. We will hopefully find a wide variety of species as we travel into several different habitats. (There is a fee for Alpine Loop of $10 per vehicle-for a 3-day pass.

Steve Van Winkle has agreed to lead a bird hike at 7 AM on June 4th. The meeting place will be at the Pioneer Crossing Park and Ride. He will be leading a bird hike up Yellow Fork at the end of Rose Canyon Road in Herriman. There will be a wide variety of breeding birds that range from riparian, pinyon juniper, to even aspen and fir. It should be a great outing.
