Deer Creek Reservoir

[Dave Hanscom <hanscom at cs dot utah dot edu>]

I stopped by the reservoir a couple of days ago to see what waterfowl had 
returned.  Much to my amazement, the water level is higher than it's been 
for several years.  The island along highway 189 is once again an island. 
The little picnic area on SR-113, just south of where the Provo River 
comes in near the town of Charleston, is really close to the water again 
and is a great place to set up a telescope.  There were lots of ducks of 
many varieties, along with herons, song sparrows, blackbirds, etc.  Even a 
bald eagle was still hanging around.  And if you're still not sure spring 
has arrived in the Heber Valley, a couple of sandhill cranes flew over.

Enjoy those birds!
