[Birdnet] Utah County Birders Fieldtrip

[Merrill Webb]

Birders,
Saturday, April 12, some members of the Utah County
Birders visited the Henefer Sagegrouse lek.  Observed
approximately 60 grouse, many right on the edge of the
road which provided good opportunities for photos for
many of our group.  I was pleased with the behavior of
all observers since there were many other cars parked
observing the behavior of the grouse.  No one got out
of the cars to try to get closer looks.  We then went
down to East Canyon Reservoir where we observed some
loons and quite a few species of ducks.  
We then left that reservoir and traveled to Deer Creek
Reservoir in Wasatch County where we saw 14 species of
waterfowl.  Birds are listed below.
