Directions to Harker Canyon



For those with a high-clearance vehicle who would like to try for the
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, there are now instructions on the Utah Birds
website.  Here's a link to the "Birding Places Index:"

When you get to the canyon, there will be a dry stream on your right.
Further up where there's water in the stream, you'll cross over the
stream where it goes under the road through a "pipe." Process up the
road a short distance to where there's a turnoff on the right.  About
300 or 400 yards up the road from the turnoff is a grove of cottonwood
and aspen trees along the stream.  The sapsucker moved arround quite a
bit in these trees, sometimes making some soft pecking sounds as it
foraged along the trunk and branches.

Good luck,
