Swamp Sparrows - Utah County

["Eric Huish" <poorwill_ at hotmail dot com>]

I stopped at the Timpanogos Wastewater Treatment Plant on my way home from 
work today (3:00 P.M. 12/06).  I Saw at least two Swamp Sparrows at the very 
southeast corner were the water empties from the settling ponds into Utah 
Lake.  They were feeding in the weedy area at the edge of the Cattails.  
There are lots of Song Sparrows in the same area and at least one Tree 
Sparrow.  Other birds at the water treatment plant included Hooded 
Merganser, DC Cormorant,  B Kingfisher, YR Warblers, and lots of blackbirds 
and gulls.
To get to the Timpanogos Wastewater Treatment Plant take the Pleasant Grove 
Exit off I-15 (exit #278) turn west go strait through the next intersection 
then turn left after the railroad tracks.
Hours- 7:30-4:00- Closed Sunday.
