Mt. Timp Wastewater Treatment

[Terry Liddell <terry_liddell at yahoo dot com>]

For those of you who may have given up birding at the Mt. Timpanogos 
Wastewater Treatment plant since they drained the ponds, this might be of 
interest.  With all the rain we've had lately, the ponds have turned into 
great shorebird habitat.  At 10:00 this morning I saw Long-billed 
Dowitchers, Western Sandpipers, American Avocet, Black-necked Stilt, 
Killdeer, a Spotted Sandpiper, a couple of Sandhill Cranes (near the 
railroad tracks), White-faced Ibis, Snowy Egret, American White Pelicans, 
Canada Geese, Cinnamon Teal, Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Red-winged 
Blackbirds, White-crowned Sparrows and Song Sparrow.
