[Birdtalk] Salt Lake County Arrivals

[Tim Avery]

Saw a couple new arrivals in the county this afternoon while golfing at 
Mick Riley in Murray.  Along one of the ponds at the course was a 
Spotted Sandpiper.  I heard several Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and saw a 
lone Gray Catbird skulking near another pond. 

Also had Yellow Warblers which were present last weekend as well.

Yesterday while on N. Temple. near Redwood Road I had 3 Swainson's Hawks 
soaring at about 600 feet.  The birds appeared to be riding a thermal as 
they were circling, getting higher and moving northward.

And this morning on the ponds at 2100 South and I-15 there were at least 
6 Forster's Terns, 3 American White Pelican and about 1,000 Cliff 
Swallows that appear to be making a colony under one of the tall over 
passes.

Good Birding
