[Birdnet] Eurasian Wigeon, White-rumped Sandpiper, Least Flycatcher - Deseret Ranch

[Mark Stackhouse]

Yesterday, May 30, 2009, we saw a male Eurasian Wigeon and two  
breeding plumaged White-rumped Sandpipers at Blue Grass Pond on the  
north side of the ranch, near Woodruff, Utah. There also was a Least  
Flycatcher at Home Ranch, in the very southernmost group of trees,  
across from the hunter check station.

I think that the Eurasian Wigeon may be the latest spring record for  
Utah.

There was no sign of the Magnolia Warbler seen the day before, or the  
Red-eyed Vireo seen two days before. The night had obviously "re- 
shuffled the deck," with a number of new arrivals, such as first-of- 
year Swainson's Thrush, as well as the Least Flycatcher.
