LBBG relocated also

[Roostertael at aol dot com]

Hi,
 
Bob and I went after the LBBG today. Even with today's low contrast  
conditions it was relatively easy to pick out. We were there two and a half  hours 
looking, and my toes were getting cold and I was about ready to leave. We  had 
scanned the group of gulls on the frozen pond a few hundred times. Yes I  know, 
my wife has told me a million times not to exaggerate. We were outside the  
fence and had somewhat of a low angle. The birds were clustered and anything in  
the middle had several birds in front of them. There were not a lot of birds  
coming and going, I guess because of no activity on the dump. I thought we 
were  wasting out time and the gull was resting within the dump. I was scanning 
when a  darker bird caught my eye. Bob looked over my scope and immediately 
picked it  out. It had it's head tucked and only the front half was visible 
along with the  yellow legs. We kept on it until it raised its head. YES. 
 
I think with good light the bird will be quite easy to find. Get up to the  
Bountiful Dump!!! It is on the frozen pond on the north end.

PS Friday when we were up there I forgot to report a mixed flock of  
grackles. Two Great-tailed and eight or so Commons at Bountiful  Lake.
