stansbury island

[qrs2 at email dot byu dot edu]

I just spent the last 2 1/2 weeks camped out on Stansbury Island in the Great 
Salt Lake as I did some small mammal trapping.  While there I tried to always 
keep my binoculars handy and I was surprised at some of the species that are 
out there.  The Lark sparrow, and Cassin's kingbird were lifers for me.  All of 
these can be seen if you park at the mountain bike trailhead and start hiking 
up the hill to the East.
