[Birdnet] Least Tern (Tooele Co.)

[Joel and Kathy Beyer]

Kathy and I found a Least Tern this afternoon at J.W.Fitzgerald WMA
(a.k.a. Faust Reservoir) on Hwy 36 in Tooele Co.  It's small size was
really accentuated by the Caspian Tern that was flying nearby.
Also seen in Tooele Co. , all on the west side of Highway 138, were 3
Short-eared Owls (mile marker 15, just north of Grantsville Reservoir), a
family of Burrowing Owls (mile marker 6.5) and a singing Northern
Mockingbird (mile marker 5.5).   We saw a Eurasian Collared Dove in
Grantsville, on West Street, 1/2 block south of the cemetery.  Several
Greater Scaup were on Clover Reservoir (near the junction of Hwys 138 &
199 at Rush Valley).

And a late report of a Northern Goshawk, seen last Sunday afternoon at
Brighton  (Salt Lake Co.), in the forest clearing west of Silver Lake
(seen from the Lake Solitude trail).
