There were lots of gulls, grebes, willets, stilts and
phalaropes (with a couple of red-necked mixed in) along the Antelope Island
Causeway Sunday. Also saw one Sanderling and one Long-billed Curlew.
At Garr Ranch there were lots of Lark Sparrows along with Wilson's and
MacGillivray's Warblers, a Nashville Warbler and Dusky and Cordilleran
Flycatchers. Saw the Burrowing Owls and Chukars previously reported near
the Visitors' Center.
Our friend, Martha Ann Albretsen, told us she has taken a
position at the Ogden Nature Center beginning August 25th and so will no
longer be at Antelope Island. We have really appreciated all her good work
at Antelope and will miss her bird expertise.
