Hi Everyone.
KC and I went out to LeBarron Point and Lincoln Point (Utah Co) this 
Morning. (8/31)
In lake Shore near 4000 West we saw 2 Solitary Sandpipers in a small puddle 
in a pasture.
At Lincoln Point just south of the boat harbor there were lots and lots of 
birds most interesting being Nashville Warbler, Virginia's Warbler, Baird's 
and Least sandpipers.
At LeBarron Point we had a Peregrine Falcon that kept flying over us giving 
very good views.  All the swallows in the sky were following right behind 
her.  Very fun.
And there are great mudflats all around LeBarron Point. We set the scope out 
just north of the point.  Lots and lots of shore birds.  Hundreds of 
avocets,  Hundreds of Phalaropes (Red-necked and Wilson's)and thousands of 
peeps. We were able to identify a few Pectoral Sandpipers, tons of Baird's 
Sandpipers and lots of western. (Someone who is more apt at identifying 
peeps might like to sort through them all.) Also out on the mud was Lesser 
and Greater Yellowlegs, White-faced Ibis, and Franklin's Gulls.
We were out until noon and saw 65 species.  It was a very good day of 
birding.
