Birds at City Cemetery, Salt Lake City & Bear River Refuge, Box Elder County



Hi All:
 
Friday, 3 January, 2003
I spent nearly two hours scouring the City Cemetery in Salt Lake City today, looking for juniper titmouse and bushtit.  I found neither, but did have 12 species.  The two most interesting, to me, were Townsend's solitaire and cedar waxwing.  The rest were all just the very common species like junco, house finch, etc.
 
I also birded the 13 miles of road between I-15 and the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge maintenance area between 3:30 and 6:00 p.m.  I found no sage grouse or short-eared owls.
 
The directions to the City Cemetery found on the utahbirds.org web site are very good - thanks!
