This morning we found a juvenile Sabine's
Gull on the Antelope Island Causeway. It was directly north
of the first bridge west of the entrance station. It was in company with
hundreds of other gulls (Ring-billed, California, Franklin's) as well as
dowitchers, godwits, avocets and a couple of sanderlings. A scope is a
necessity, 'cause the birds are out quite a ways. It was still there in
mid-afternoon.
Lots of activity at Garr Ranch on Antelope Island. Most notable were
Townsend's Warblers, Cassin's Vireos, a Merlin and a Northern Shrike.
A Horned Grebe was at Farmington Bay WMA, in the pond at the end of Glover
Lane.
