Hello all,
This afternoon (3/14), I took advantage of the added hour of daylight and
visited Sand Hollow State Park. The first winter male and female Black
Scoter were actively diving in the area east of the West Dam. I also
counted between 25 and 30 Horned Grebes on Sand Hollow. Typically there are
one, or maybe two, Horned Grebes wintering in Washington County, but this
year has been exceptional with regular counts of over 20 at Sand Hollow.
Also there were a couple hundred Red-breasted Mergansers on the reservoir
and the first Bonaparte's Gulls of the season (flock of 14).
A pair of Snow Geese and a Ross's Goose were on the SR-9 (Hurricane) Sewer
Pond as well.
Best Regards,
Rick Fridell,
Hurricane, UT
