[Birdnet] Report of White-winged Scoter at Willard Bay

[Kristin Purdy]

Members of Wasatch Audubon saw some nice birds this morning at Willard Bay 
State Park in Box Elder County, including a WHITE-WINGED SCOTER. I forgot to 
ask the sex/age of the bird, but it was in the park's sewage treatment pond 
north of the park's entrance, along with eight or nine HOODED MERGANSERS. 
All but one of the hoodies were hens. There were also a few GREATER 
YELLOWLEGS at that pond.

The park's south marina hosted a flock of 150 BONAPARTE'S GULLS, and both 
Common and Red-breasted Mergansers were out on the water. Other big birds in 
the park included a Great Horned Owl , Bald Eagles and Red-tailed Hawks. I 
understand the group found very few small birds in the campground areas or 
along the nature trail.

Willard Bay State Park is located at I-15 exit 357.
