| How to find: |
Listed as a rare summer visitor this is a bird I have never seen in Utah
County. The only place I have observed it is in the area below Deer Creek
Dam on the Provo River. During migration it has been reported at the Garr
Ranch on Antelope Island and also in the area of dam. It frequents willows
and may be hard to observe. Best indication of its presence is its
beautiful, downward spiraling song. |
