Whimbrels, Horned Grebe, etc.

[Joel Beyer <twobirders at juno dot com>]

Two Whimbrels were mixed in with a flock of over 100 Marbled Godwits
along the Antelope Island Causeway today (4/28).  They were on the south
side of the Causeway, between mile markers 5 and 6.  Over 800 Western
Sandpipers were spread out along the length of both sides of the
Causeway.  At mile marker 5 on the north side, a breeding plumaged Horned
Grebe was seen.  Two Black-bellied Plovers were also in this area.
At Garr Ranch on Antelope Island were several Hermit Thrushes, Chipping
and  Lark Sparrows, Lazuli Bunting and a Dusky Flycatcher.
At Henefer, off Exit 115 on I-84, three Great Egrets were in the Weber
River.
At Farmington Bay WMA, a Blue-winged Teal, Forster's Terns and Western
Kingbirds.
