Subject: E. Wigeon, NOT--11-7-03

Message: Pomera and I searched hard for the Eurasian Wigeon at Hyrum 
Reservoir but we couldn't find it.  Did see lots of loons, Lesser Scaup, a 
Greater Scaup, Bonaparte's Gull, mergansers.  One lone Bald Eagle was in the 
trees just south of Willard Bay campground.  We had better luck at East 
Canyon.  We saw a Pacific Loon at the boat ramp area of the state park, and 
three Surf Scoters on the east side of the reservoir just north of Tayor's 
Hollow area.  Many Common Loons were on the lake, and we saw two Greater 
Yellowlegs along the mudflats.  American Tree Sparrows were at the Taylor 
Hollow pull-out.  We also saw 42 Wild Turkeys along the road to the dam from 
Morgan and about 20 American Crows.  A Golden Eagle flew over as we headed 
back toward Henefer.

By the way, there is a "For Sale" sign on the fence at the Sage Grouse lek 
near East Canyon.  Next spring, or one soon after, we may see the "Greater 
Condo" lek. Won't that be wonderful--watching all those "Condos" dancing and 
trying to attract more "Condos"? Sad.

Good birding y'all,
Julie Van Moorhem
