[Birdtalk] Antelope Island causeway

[Lu Giddings]

I spent a few hours on the causeway this morning. The long-tailed duck
and three white-winged scoters were frequenting the area around the last
bridge, as were a number of Bonaparte's gulls. I did not see the
Sabine's gull although I understand other birders saw it earlier this
morning. The only noteworthy observations I can offer which have not
been previously reported are:

- a lone marbled godwit was observed on the flats around MM6 with
numerous ring-billed gulls, about 150 yards north of the road
- a group of six tundra swans, two adults and four juvenile birds, was
seen about 800 yards north of MM 5.

I've posted some of today's photos of the long-tailed duck, white-winged
scoters, and eared grebes at the following address for anyone
interested:
