[Birdtalk] Farmington Bay

[Steve Coleman]

I was fortunate to tag along with Bob Huntington and the Great Salt Lake
Audubon Folks today as they toured Glover Ponds and Farmington Bay. Two
birds of note, the Semi Palmated Sandpiper that Kris Purdy reported was
still there sitting on the mud flat amid the Killdeer. Inside Farmington
Bay on the east side pond as you make the first turn headed west there
was a 2nd year Sabine's Gull.
