[Birdnet] Antelope Island Causeway

[Carol Gwynn]

Lots of good stuff on the causeway today. New arrivals for me included 
Wilson's phalaropes and about a half-dozen Bonaparte's gulls. The gulls 
were at the first bridge. There were also lots of black-bellied plovers 
as previously reported, scores of willets, and a few marbled godwits. 
There were peeps, but they were too far away, even with a scope. The 
usual suspects were at the visitor's center, including chukars, rock 
wren, white-crowned sparrows and barn swallows. There were two coyotes 
walking along the road to the buffalo corrals, and another coyote (with 
a death wish) walking along the causeway kind of dodging traffic. 
Coyotes have become quite a problem in some metro areas, such as L.A. 
Maybe Syracuse (Utah) will start seeing some its smaller pets 
disappear. Glover Lane ponds were loaded with waterfowl and waders. All 
of the heron nests appear to be occupied. Pelicans and cormorants were 
also present. And did I say there were coots, coots, coots, and more 
coots?
