I located a Northern Waterthrush on Tuesday around 10:00 a.m.
at the Jordanelle Wetlands. Directions to this area are on the Utah
Birds website. Take the trail which starts near the buildings rather than
the dirt road which goes right along the river. Cross the green
timber footbridge and continue along the trail until you cross a second and
then a third section of timbers. Walk about 100 yards past this third
section and look for a stake on the left side of the trail which has PW-3 on
it. The waterthrush was in the bog on the right side of the trail right
across from this stake. In the same general area was a pair of Blue-Winged
Teal. I believe this is the same place where the American Redstart was
last year.
This is a beautiful birding area. I also saw lots of
Yellow Warblers, Audubon Warblers, Bullock's Orioles, Lazuli Buntings and a
Western Tanager. I checked the fields near Heber for the Bobolins, but no
luck.
