East Canyon Reservoir

[Joel Beyer <twobirders at juno dot com>]

We visited East Canyon Reservoir (Morgan Co.) this afternoon and saw
several nice birds.  Besides the 50 or so Common Loons there was one
Pacific Loon (intermediate plumage between breeding and basic).  Amongst
the many ducks were 3 Surf Scoters, 1 White-winged Scoter, 5 male
Barrow's Goldeneye, numerous Common Goldeneye, Hooded and Common
Mergansers, Ring-necked Ducks, Lesser Scaups, Buffleheads, etc.  On the
mudflats at the south end of the reservoir were a Baird's Sandpiper, a
Red-necked Phalarope, an American Golden Plover, 2 Greater Yellowlegs,
and Bonaparte's Gulls.  An American Tree Sparrow was in the bushes along
the road just south of the reservoir.  Additionally, a Golden Eagle and 3
Bald Eagles were seen around the reservoir.
On the south end of East Canyon, Little Dell Reservoir had a few birds,
most notably a Horned Grebe.
