Eagles Galore

[Hughjangillilan at aol dot com]

The Bald Eagle show continues at Farmington Bay. Salt Lake Audubon did a 
field trip out there today and Elaine Wonsavage's last count was about 270! 
Spectacular! Eagles were everywhere, in the usual dead trees (there alone 
counting about 100), on snags, on the ice and flying overhead.  One thinks of 
those famous pictures out of Alaska with Eagles feeding on the salmon. The 
big draw here is dead carp that have apparently been killed in an eradication 
effort.  Gulls also abound including Thayers (considerable deliberation here) 
and at least one Glaucous Gull. One Short-eared Owl was seen along the dike 
running west from the gate at the southern portion of the north/south dike.
