Sharp-tailed Grouse.
Josh Taylor (5 April 2015) - [Promontory] -
Sharp-tailed Grouse. I was out at the lek this morning (fully respectful
Paul :-) ). I counted an average of 12-14 birds through the morning, with a peak
of 19 at the height of the display. It was a great experience. Also had a coyote
come running by in an adjacent field midway through - he gave a couple of
glances but continued on to wherever he was going.

Benjamin Dana (21 Apr 2015) [Bohemian
Waxwing at Logan City Cemetery] : "Dr. Kim Sullivan confirmed it she
was in the group. It was larger than the ceder waxwings that were around it, on
the underside by the legs and behind the legs was a redder coloring than the
ceder waxwings, and when the wing were folded the yellow markings lined up to
form a yellow strip down the wing. When we found it we were actually on the NW
corner of the BNR building on USU's campus."

side and Hwy 65 on the south side. There is a large pullout at this location and
the grebe was right in that area. Other good birds included lots of Common Loons
(counted 64), the Wood Duck pair, a N. Pintail, and three Red-breasted
Mergansers (drake and two hens). Most of the ducks are hanging out at the

Von Welch (23 April 2015] - [River Lane]- DICKSISSEL. Sparrow-like
bird with bright yellow supercilium, yellow malar stripe, bright yellow breast
with bright yellow streak extending down center of whitish belly. appeared large
headed. Rufous on shoulder. No large black V on throat. First spring male or
maybe a bright female. Observed for about a minute about 20 feet away. In bushes
by river where the dirt road meets the beach.
-- Swainson's Hawk, Black-bellied Plover
Jared Davidson (23 April 20150 - [Pioneer Crossing, Lehi to Inlet Park] -
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Hermit Thrush
David Wheeler (23 April 2015) - [Lincoln Beach and River Lane]:
--I decided to stop planting tomatoes for a bit on Monday (my day
off) in order to follow up with the recent reports of good shorebirds in Utah
county. Faithful but increasingly chubby Mojo was getting a little heavy in the
mid-section anyway (they say that dogs begin to look like their masters--sure
enough), so this was a good chance for hip to stretch his legs. The sight of the
bicycle brings a look of terror in that dog's face anymore, so this was more his
speed. Sure enough, he seemed content to lope three paces behind me at our
middle-aged pace. Foolishly, we did this in the middle of the day, and so both
of us were more lethargic than usual.
-- Lincoln Beach still had at least 5 trusting
Snowy Plovers (gosh they're lovely, with those subtle pale shades), several
Willets, about 15 Least Sandpipers, and a Say's Phoebe. I
don't recall if there were Marbled Godwits there, but I think there was
one.
-- River Lane had some year firsts as well: An
unexpected Western kingbird at the last farmhouse on the paved portion of the
road, Bank swallows aplenty, and 2 Blue-gray gnatcatchers. At the
end of the dirt road, on the silty shore of Utah Lake, there were two
SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, 4 Marbled Godwits, and two Brewer's sparrows,
along with some Bonaparte's gulls, etc. There were surprisingly many
American goldfinches along River Lane too. The lazy dog kept indicating to the
car (funny creatures), so I didn't prolong his agony any more than I had to.

Cattle Egrets. I stopped by Powell Lake Thursday evening on my way home from
the airport about 7:15 to see what might be on the pond. Bonaparte's and
Franklin's Gulls were nice year birds, but two Cattle Egrets that flew in
from the south and landed in the north pond were highlights. They were my first
ones of the year and unexpected based on the eBird filters for this time of the
year.

Kris Purdy (9 April 2015) - [Weber Canyon] - I
heard my first of the season male Broad-tailed Hummingbird today in Weber
County as I hiked with friends along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail north of
Ogden Canyon. I guess I don’t need to wait until Tax Day to put the feeders out
to snag the early birds this year; they’re here!
