[Birdnet] Black Scoter & more Washington County

[Tim Avery]

This morning (03/11) Dave Slager and I relocated the 2 BLACK SCOTER 
reported by Rick Fridell 2 weeks ago at Sand Hollow State Park in 
Washington County.  The birds were seen along the west dam about 400 
yards from the parking lot.  One bird had a distinctive yellow knob 
while the other was a juvenile or female bird.  We attempted to get 
closer but a boat flushed the birds and we were not able to relocate them.

Other birds of note in Washington County this weekend.

1 - Harris's Sparrow 2 miles north of Lytle Ranch 03/09 in the Beaver 
Dam Wash.  Likely same bird form the ranch in search of food?
5 - Caspian Tern at Quail Creek 03/10 in the evening.  The birds were 
not seen today.  This seems like a very early record.
1 - Ross's Goose at Quail Creek 03/11 around noon.  With 2 Snow Geese 
and 200 gulls.
1 - prairie Merlin in Washington Fields 03/10.

In Millard County at Clear Lake WMA we found a swan sleeping on the 
bank.  IT was collared with a black band and yellow letters/numbers.  
Likely  a Trumpeter, but not sure of the origin.

Good Birding
