Hi Folks -
While Kris Purdy's scouting trip to Powder Mountain
did not turn up any Blue Grouse, it did produce a comical
encounter worthy of print. Watch for this story in the November
newsletter!
So... with no Blue Grouse in sight, we have changed our
weekend field trip to South Fork Canyon. Meet Sunday (October 10th) at
8:00 a.m. at Sugarhouse Shopko. It will take us about an hour to get to
our destination in Provo Canyon. It will be very chilly when we first
arrive and the weather forecast calls for an overall cool day, so please dress
appropriately.
Knowing that abilities differ, I hate to try to categorize the
"hike" we will take.
I did it this morning without difficulty and I'm a lightweight
in the hiking department. The trail is good with a steady (but very, very
mild) uphill climb. We will cover maybe two miles round trip.
Bring a lunch and we'll picnic after the hike. We'll
plan to be home by 3:00 at the latest.
Not wanting to jinx our chances of seeing some good birds, I
won't mention that Julie and I saw 69 Wild Turkeys and two Ruffed Grouse this
morning. Never mind that! The beauty of the canyon alone is worth
the price of admission (which is absolutely nothing). Everyone is
welcome.
Come join the fun! Call me at 272-2755 if you have any
questions.

Field Trip Coordinator
