BOX ELDER COUNTY

A EURASIAN WIGEON was seen on the small pond just north of the campground
at Willard Bay SP on Wednesday, 04/11 (DG,DS). To get to the pond, take the
gravel frontage road north on the west side of I-15, opposite the park
entrance. The pond is right after the second right-angle turn.

In an unusual sighting for northern Utah, a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was seen
and heard singing in a Holladay neighborhood on Sunday and Monday, 04/8-9
(BB). The bird was near Olympus High School.

In that same area, PYGMY NUTHATCHES are still being seen as of Monday,
04/09 (BB). They have been there at least since last December, when they
