No phainopepla found at Willard Bay Sat. a.m.

Hi All -

I spent about 2 hours this morning, Saturday morning, at Willard Bay State
Park looking for the phainopepla -without luck.  I parked in the day use lot
and walked the trail north first, to the pond I believe Pomera described and
beyond.  Then walked all around the campground, then the trail south of the
day use lot, then back to the pond before I had to leave.  The park was
loaded with yellow-rumped warblers and robins.  Also found a few chickadees,
white-crowned sparrows, kestrel, red-tailed hawk, a sharpie, magpie,
starlings, blackbirds and numerous gulls.  Since the park is only 10 minutes
from my house, I'll try again.

Dang.  But thanks, Pomera, for the post!
