[Birdtalk] Black-throated Gray Warbler - Cache Valley

[Buck Russell]

This morning I went up Green Canyon and found a Black-throated Gray Warbler near the entrance to the “boy scout’ cave.  In  this area I found several Orange-crowned Warblers, Virginia Warbler, Chipping Sparrow, and a Chukar.  After hiking Green Canyon I went to Amalga Barrens were I saw Wilson's Phalaropes, Snowy Egret, Franklin Gulls, Marsh Wren, Sandhill Cranes, Savannah Sparrow (looked for Brewer Sparrows but no luck), Vesper Sparrows, Marbled Godwit, numerous Long-billed Dowitchers.  I took a lot of photos of dowitchers and hope to see if there was a Short-billed Dowitcher  in the flock, but I could not pick one out of the flock.  I will dig out my Birding Magazine article and start looking at the loral angles, but I am not optimistic.  I heard my first Sora of the year at the barrens and saw a Western Kingbird.  On the west side of the Logan Landfill I saw my first of the year Northern Rough-winged swallows.  I love spring migration!
Thanks.
Buck Russell
