[Birdnet] Pacific Loon at Panguitch Lake (Garfield Co.)

[Rick Fridell]

Hello everyone,

On Monday (July 16, 2007), Kristen and I were very surprised to see a
PACIFIC LOON at Panguitch Lake, Garfield Co., UT.  The loon appeared to be a
first summer bird in basic plumage. We viewed the bird from the boat ramp on
the south side of the lake.  Also on July 16th, we observed a family of
WILLIAMSON'S SAPSUCKERS at the NFS campground at Panguitch Lake, and a
singing PINE GROSBEAK at the campground at Cedar Breaks National Monument
(Iron Co.).
Unfortunately when we arrived home that evening, wild fires had knocked out
the power throughout Washington Co. (so I couldn't post this until now). We
went for drive to Sand Hollow SP (Washington Co.) and were again surprised
to see a single SNOWY PLOVER standing in the wind on the sandy point off the
main parking area.

Best Regards,
