The Wasatch Audubon Chapter went birding this morning around Pineview.  Much 
to the surprise of many of us, we spotted a Canada Goose nesting in the top 
of an old snag that had been broken off at the top.  She was sitting on the 
top of it.  The bird was approximately 30 feet off the ground.  She was 
bravely doing her best wood duck imitation.

We also saw the more normal song sparrows, fox sparrow, red-naped sapsucker, 
catbird, red tail hawks on a nest, redwing black birds, etc.  It was a bit 
early for migrants.  There were common and red-breasted mergansers on the 
reservoir, along with common loons.
