[Birdtalk] Birding Tony Grove in Logan Canyon

[Buck Russell]

This morning Reinhard Jockel and I visited Tony Grove in Logan Canyon and had a great day birding.  New birds for the year for me were Clark’s Nutcracker, Red Crossbill, and Williamson Sapsucker.  We heard several groups of Clark’s Nutcrackers flying through the area and saw one through the spotting scope on a tree on the cliff above the lake.  We found one Williamson Sapsucker in the nature trail area on the east end of the lake and found a nesting pair higher up, just above the area where the trail splits to Mount Naomi and the short cut to White Pine Lake.  I finally had some excellent looks at Red Wing Crossbills and Rock Wrens.  The wild flowers are wonderful in the area around Tony Grove.
