RE: Fantastic Photo of Farmington Bay

Great photo Jack, thanks for the info Milt.  

I'd like to add that the south entrance to FB is also a great place to
bird (o.k. I haven't posted much I'll try to do better).  You're in for
a walk (or bike ride), but you can access all the dikes, especially by
the dump (see middle left side of photo).  If you're in for a looooong
walk the whole square dike system loop is 6 miles from the south parking
lot.  You get your exercise and birding in at the same time.

Take 400 North exit and go east, turn north at 200 West.  Go west on
Pages Lane (the next light)and immediately before the dump is the (west)
turnoff for the south entrance.  From the north, take the Centerville
exit turn west (Parrish Ln) to 1250 West and turn south.  Go to West
Porters Ln and turn west, it will curve south to 1100 West to Pages Lane
(you'll be able to see the dump).  In the winter, I've seen 50+ eagles
in the trees on Pages Lane just east of 1100 West.

It's only open during hunting season.

Ann

Jack Binch sent in an amazing photo of Farmington Bay to add to the
"Places to Bird" section of the Utah Birds website.  He spliced 3
pictures together that he took from the mountains and came up with an
aerial view that shows you all the familiar places plus other
great-looking bird places we never get to see.  Here's the link:

Thanks to all who have been contributing to the website and hotlines.
We're collecting a lot of great pictures and information.  Coming soon:
Kevin Culver's birdsongs will be added to the "Photo Gallery" and "Utah
Bird Guide" -- should be a nice addition.

Thanks to all,
