[Birdtalk] Caspian Terns & Common Grackle - Cache Valley

[Buck Russell]

My wife and I found two Caspian Terns at the Hyrum Reservoir this evening.  
Other birds at the reservoir included several Common Loons, a Red Breasted 
Merganser, Bank Swallows, and California Gulls.  We found several Common 
Grackles in the Poplar trees on the south side of Willow Park in Logan (the 
same general area where they nested last year).  On Hyde Park Lane, near the 
Logan Airport, we found several Western Kingbirds, a Black Crowned Night 
Heron, Wilson Snipes, Cinnamon Teals, Black-necked Stilts, American Avocets, 
Sandhill Cranes, Canada Geese, and lots of Red Wing & Yellow headed 
Blackbirds.

Last year we had Barn Swallows nest in our carport and they are back.  Yeah! 
  You have to love a bird that strikes terror in the hearts of mosquitoes.

Thanks.
