[dshirley at freeport dot com]

	For those venturing out this weekend there is a good number of shorebirds around the south end of Utah Lake. Three hours of birding on Friday evening - May 2 - resulted in several good observations, including;
			Snowy Plover - 8 at Lebaron Point/ extreme south end Goshen Bay
					 1 at Lincoln Point
			Semipalmated Plover - At Lincoln Point, Benjamin Slough, Lebaron 
						Pt.
			Baird's Sandpiper - 3 at Lincoln Point
			Semipalmated Sandpiper - 1 at Lincoln Point -a long and close look! 
			Long-billed Dowitcher - 400 at extreme south end Goshen Bay [and 
						  not one stilt sandpiper or short-billed,  I 
						  think!]
	Plus the usuals- stilts, avocets, yellowlegs, western, least, and spotted sandpipers, willets, herons, egrets,ect.
	The tree grove at Lebaron Point was full of yellow-rumped warblers, plus yellow, and a plumbeous vireo.
