Greetings!
Julie and I went up to the Jordanelle Wetlands this afternoon
to try to relocate the Northern Waterthrush. He was right
where he was yesterday. He seems to like the edge of the bog closest to
the walking trail. We walked down off the trail a few feet and waited and
within five minutes he showed up. This was about 2:00.
Next we headed over to the North Fields (where the Bobolinks
are seen) where we found a Sora and some Common
Snipe. I think I am the only one in the State of Utah who had
never seen a Sora, but I feel like a true birder now. To find these two
birds, turn at The Other End (the local tavern) as you head toward Heber
City (from I-80). Follow the road for one mile. The Sora was in the
wet field on the left hand side of the road skulking around in the
grasses. We saw two or three snipe in the same general area.
Better run. I have to go consult my bird books so I can
choose a new nemesis bird.
