[Birdtalk] Utah Lake eastern kingbird

[L. D. Giddings]

I spent a few hours Sunday morning and afternoon checking the south end
of Utah lake. An eastern kingbird was seen on a utility line with a
small flock of starlings in Genola, just beyond the LeBaron Point road.
I know this is near the late date for this species. Where may one find
late date information for various species within the state? I'm aware of
Behle/Perry's "Utah Birds." Is there anything more recent?

There was also a flock of about 50 barn swallows terrorizing the flying
insects in Genola. At Lincoln Beach there was a single Forster's tern
and about 15 Caspian terns, most of which appear to be juvenile birds,
two long-billed dowitchers, both types of yellowlegs, a semi-palmated
plover, and about a dozen small peeps which were difficult to see but
which appeared to be mostly western sandpipers. There were also sandhill
cranes cooing in the tall stuff at the south end of the beach and a
virginia rail croaking from the cattails along with various gulls,
waders, and other common birds.
