East Canyon Etc.

["Matthew" <matthewthorum at mail dot sisna dot com>]

I went up to East Canyon early this morning (5/1) and there were 
still several Common Loons along with Clark's and Western Grebes 
near the dam.  There were still stage grouse at the lek site; 
however there is not nearly as much activity as threre has been.   
Only one or two were displaying and they were far from the road, 
by the time I left at 6:30 they were already flying away.     

I also stopped by Pineview and there were White Pelican, Grebes, 
Gulls, Red-breasted Merganser and I can't remember if there were 
loons or not.  I also heard Yellow and Orange-crowned Warblers 
singing in the trees above the dam, but was never able to see 
them. 

I also saw a Wild Turkey just outside of Liberty strutting in 
front of the gate on road 162 to Avon (which I discovered is 
closed, bringing an abrupt halt to my trip to Hyrum to try for the 
Red-throated Loon again).
