I took a chance this afternoon hoping that the wind hadn't blown all of =
the Utah County birds to somewhere south of Nephi!  A drive around the 5 =
mile loop gave me 24 species.
Most notable were about 20 Snowy Egrets, 2 Great Egrets, and a lone =
Cattle Egret near some cows at the north end of the road.  I also logged =
2 Forster's Terns in the last "pond" near the north west end of the =
road, a half dozen Clark's Grebes, 9 Red-Breasted Mergansers, several =
Black Necked Stilts, many Avocets at either end of the road (and NO bald =
eagles!!), a single Pied Billed Grebe, and many Double Crested =
Cormorants and White Pelicans.
The Yellow-Headed Blackbirds and their raucous calls were everywhere.  =
How can such an attractive bird have such an obnoxious call??
There were lots of swallows, and I was able to ID the Tree Swallows and =
Barn Swallows, but I suspect there were others there as well.=20
An enjoyable, if not a little bit chilly, afternoon.
