August Meeting:

Thursday August 14, 2025, 7pm to dark

It’s our annual potluck time! This year we are hosting our August potluck in a brand new park in Provo - the Provo River Delta Gateway Park. The address is 311 Lakeshore Dr, Provo, east of and across Lakeview Pkwy from the new Skipper Bay trailhead. (Here).

Bring a potluck item to share, bring your family, (kids/grandkids welcome!) and join us as we break bread and have a fun evening of socializing. The park has three brand new playgrounds, bathrooms, and a covered picnic area. If we have light/time at the end we may pop over to the Skipper Bay trail and do a little birding while we are there.

UPCOMING FIELD TRIPS:

SATURDAY AUG 9 – Goshen Bay, Goshen Fields, Warm Springs
We will meet at the Payson Wal-Mart to the west of the car wash at 7:00 AM.
We will be walking a mile out to the shoreline at Goshen Bay to see what shorebirds are hanging around, and any other migrants may be around. It is a mile walk each way, with little shade, but hopefully early morning will help with the heat. If you can bring a scope, it will be helpful. Also wear pants, and close toed shoes for the walk, as there are some weeds along the trail that can cause some discomfort if in shorts. Please bring water also. Afterwards we will check Goshen fields and see what is hanging around, and finish up at Warm Springs for migrants, and any local breeders. Hopefully the trip will be finished around 1 P.M.

TUESDAY AUG 23 – River Lane, Sandy Beach
We will meet at Springville Wal-Mart just to the east of the fuel center at 7:00 A.M.
We will head over to River Lane, and Sandy Beach to look for migrants, shorebirds, and local birds that are hanging around. We will be walking part of the lane and beach area. It's possible to see or hear 60 species this time of year. Afterwards, we will go down Swede Lane to also check for any birds that are on the move. We should hopefully be done by noon.
