[Birdnet] Diamond Fork Birds

[Merrill Webb]

Birders,
As part of the Gt. Salt Lake Bird Festival, I had the opportunity to lead a group of participants on a fieldtrip to Diamond Fork Canyon Wednesday morning.  The weather was cool and cloudy with wind breakers/sweaters being the mode for most of the morning.  The birds cooperated and we had a combined total from all observers of 60 species, which is more than I had anticipated.  We did not find White-throated Swifts or Red-naped Sapsucker which I had seen a couple days earlier, but the Lewis's Woodpecker and the Black Phoebe were unexpected.  The pond at the mouth of the canyon was very productive (at least 22 species on or around it) as you can tell from the diversity of water birds. As for the most abundant in terms of numbers it would be a toss-up between Yellow Warbler and Broad-tailed Hummingbird--they were everywhere, especially in the riparian areas.   Following is a combined list of the 17 participants:
