[Birdnet] American Redstart in Wasatch County

[Tim Avery]

This morning I heard at least one AMERICAN REDSTART in the Jordanelle 
Reclamation Area along the boardwalk heading north from the parking 
area.  The bird was initially heard singing about 60 feet off trail and 
out of sight.  After some pishing and giving a few alert whistles the 
bird moved closer and I managed a few looks and snap a shot.

And up river near the dam I was pretty sure I heard another one singing, 
but could never get glass on it in the tall cottonwoods.  To get to the 
reclamation area turn off of hwy. 40 onto hwy. 32 below Jordanelle 
Reservoir.  Take the first left and travel to the 2nd public access road 
on the left. (there are two stone pillars here).  You can park in the 
loop here and then walk to the boardwalk to the north of the parking 
area.  From here it was about 200 feet to where the bird was seen.

Along Potter Lane, just north of Heber City I saw 6 BOBOLINKS, which put 
on quite a show for the hour I watched.  At one point I had 5 males all 
in the air displaying and chasing one another.

 From hwy. 40 it is about .6 miles to where the Bobolinks were seen, 
hanging out on the north side of the road.

And at the Charleston City Park were 3 Common Grackles, one of which was 
making all kinds of racket.  4 or 5 Eurasian Collared-Doves were also in 
the vicinity.

And at the corner of hwy. 113 (Charleston Road) and W. 2400 South was a 
single adult female Common Goldeneye.

Good Birding
