[Birdnet] A Plea for Reports!

[Joseph]

June 4th birded hundreds of miles of desert roads
North and West of the Great Salt Lake.

Species observed in the harsh desert include:

horned lark (all over everywhere)
meadowlark (common)
cowbirds (large flocks)
loggerhead shrike
mourning dove
burrowing owl
raven
golden eagle
sage thrasher
scrub jay
(as many as 3 species of unidentified sparrow-like things)

The cowbirds were the biggest surprise. I have never before
seen cowbirds in the harsh desert. It turns out that they were
feeding on an infestation of mormon crickets about a mile north
of rabbit/owl springs.

I was hoping to bird the GSL shoreline, but water levels
are way low this year.

Species observed in agricultural areas or on the margins of the
desert included:

hungarian partridge
sage grouse
willet
burrowing owl
short eared owl
raven
meadowlark
horned lark
western kingbird
red tailed hawk
lb curlew
swainson's hawk
kestrel
vulture
brewers blackbird
red winged blackbird
cowbird

killdeer
avocet
mourning dove
eurasian collared dove
bullock's oriole
widgeon
bn stilt
spug
starling
robin
magpie
l shrike
barn swallow

cliff swallow

And a bird to add to my life list, which I hesitate even to mention on
a Utah list because it was just over the border into Nevada:

black throated gray warbler
