[Birdnet] Kaysville ponds and Antelope Island Causeway

[Hughjangillilan at aol.com]

Gary Grubb and I ventured north today up to the Antelope Island Causeway by  
way of the Kaysville ponds. At the latter we observed:
    Pied-billed Grebe
    Canada Goose (at least 100)
    Mallard (too many and too domesticated)
    Gadwall
    American Wigeon
    Redhead
    Common Goldeneye
    Hooded Merganser (a beautiful male on the near  shore and 3 females in 
the water)
    American Coot
    Ring-billed Gull
    Belted Kingfisher
    Black-billed Magpie
    Dark-eyed Junco
    House Sparrow
 
At the Antelope Island Causeway and on the island (in addition to several  
species above):
    Eared Grebe
    Northern Pintail
    Northern Shoveler
    Lesser Scaup
    Long-tailed Duck ( 2 males and 3 females south of  the bridge just east 
of the marina, 2 males and 
          2 females  a bit further west also on the south side, 4 females in 
the marina  area on the north side)
    White-winged Scoter (our best judgement of a female  in the marina area)
    Bufflehead
    Northern Harrier
    American Kestrel
    Killdeer (numerous along the north shore)
    American Avocet 
    Bonaparte's Gull
    Short-eared Owl (in the vicinity of the entrance  station)
    Common Raven
    White-crowned Sparrow (numerous outside the visitor  center even though 
the feeder was empty)
 
A beautiful day to be out after morning snow squalls and despite some  chilly 
breezes.
