It has been one HOT July. I have been gone for a lot of it too. So I haven't birded too much. I did run out around the Provo Airport Dike this afternoon. At the southwest corner of the new extension there were quite a few shorebirds. The only one that was a migrant probably was the Long Billed Dowitchers. There were plenty of Soras out in plain sight. Also there were Snowy Egrets, Killdeer, WIlsons Phalaropes, White Faced Ibis by the hundreds out in the distance. Also there Were Eastern and Western Kingbirds. A Caspian Tern diving for food was entertaining. Fun too see some birds heading south for the winter already.
