Red Cliffs Audubon September Field Trip

[Bill Hunter <dixiewillie at skyviewmail dot com>]

Hi

Our first field trip of the season will be this Saturday (9/18/'04). We 
will meet at the BLM office, 345 E. Riverside Dr. at 8:00AM. All 
birders are welcome.

Destination points are Lava Point (Zion NP), Blue Springs Reservoir and 
Kolob Reservoir.

Our past trips to these points have turned up migrating waterfowl and 
shorebirds on the reservoirs, kettling Red-tailed Hawks, Zone-tailed 
Hawks, Northern Goshawk, Condors, Wild Turkey, both Bald and Golden 
Eagles and various passerines, including Lewis' Woodpecker and Mountain 
Bluebird.

Most recently (Aug. 31, '04) there was a reported Acorn Woodpecker 
about 2 miles up canyon from the parking lot of the Wildcat Canyon 
Trailhead next to Pine Valley Peak near a large old pine tree, or 3 
miles down from Blue Springs Reservoir - near the Lamoreaux Cabin.

Good birding.
