[Birdnet] Shorebirds

[Carol Gwynn]

I did a circuit of Davis County yesterday. Glover Ponds were quiet; a 
family of Pied-billed Grebes pretty much had the main pond to 
themselves. On the Antelope Island Causeway, there was a huge flock of 
sandpipers at mile marker 5. The flock was mainly Baird's and Westerns, 
with a few Least sprinkled in. There could have been others; some were 
quite a ways out. Also on the causeway were the usual phalaropes, 
Franklin's Gulls, Avocets, Stilts, and Eared Grebes. I didn't spend 
much time on the island itself. There were a lot of spiders around the 
visitor's center for the arachnid lovers out there. I spent a few 
minutes at the GSL Shorelands Preserve, and snipe were winnowing 
everywhere. The boardwalk leading to the spiral-shaped display area had 
lots and lots of Marsh Wrens. Nothing really unusual anywhere; things 
were rather slow overall.
