Winter Wren

[Alton Thygerson <thygerson at byu dot edu>]

Great looks of a WINTER WREN occurred in Provo Canyon today (Thursday;
November 14, 2002) at 8:30 a.m.   The bird was found west of the new park,
Canyon View Park.  This is not Canyon Glen Park where last year's
orientation to the location of a Winter Wren was started.

Directions:  From the mouth of Provo Canyon (Provo/Orem end) travel to
Canyon View Park (on left side of highway and if you go to Canyon Glen Park,
you have traveled too far).  Park at the far end of the parking lot after
entering the park (going back toward the canyon's mouth).  Walk west or
toward the canyon's mouth on the asphalt trail until you cross the
footbridge.  A few feet after crossing the footbridge, the main
walking/biking asphalt trail will  be intersected where you will turn left.
Walk (less than an estimated 100 yards) until you see a small sign on the
left side of the trail reading "1/2 mile."  The Winter Wren was seen in this
area.  Other bird species in this general area today were:  Ruby-crowned
Kinglet, Black-capped Chickadee, Northern Harrier, Cooper's Hawk, Northern
Flicker, Dark-eyed Junco, and Song Sparrow.

An immature (probably second year) HERRING GULL was seen in the Utah Lake
State Park boat harbor yesterday (Wednesday, November 13) at about 5:00 pm.
Other bird species included:  Bald Eagle, Ring-billed Gull, Great Blue
Heron, Mallard Duck, Bufflehead Duck, and Common Goldeneye Duck.
