SNOW GEESE, and CACKLERS @ Decker Lake

[Tim Avery <tanager at timaverybirding dot com>]

I birded the Salt LAke County "loop" today after my trip to AI Causeway, where I
found the Harris's Sparrow.  Hoping my good luck would continure I satarted off
by hitting Decker Lake where there were 2 Snow Geese and 3 Cackling Geese, in
the near 1000 Canada Goose Flock.  There were also a dozen or so domestic geese
not to be confused as GWF Geese or Snow.  NExt I hit The Jordna River to see if
there were nay early divers on the.  There was a lone Common Goldeneye at 2200
south, nothing else.

After htis it was to Decker lake where there really were very few birds. 
Besides, 3 PB Grebes, 3 DC Cormorants, and a few California Gulls, there were 3
Great-tailed Grackle, a coulle Herring Gulls, and that was about it.

Finally at Salt Air, it was a completely differnt story than a month ago.  Today
the water was like glass, wiht a mere 2 California Gulls and 3 Eared Grebes in
the marina.  On the lake, there were NO BIRDS.

A great start to a 6 day break from classes, hopefully the weekend will bring
some more photo opps, and some more great birds.

Good Birding
