On Saturday November 17th the Utah County Birders visited various bodies
of water in search of loons and migrating waterfowl. We made stops at
Deer Creek reservoir, Jordanelle reservoir, East Canyon reservoir, and
the Antelope Island causeway. We enjoyed wonderful weather and got some
excellent looks at some very good birds. A few trip photos may be seen

Highlights included bald eagles, hooded mergansers, and Barrow's
goldeneyes at East Canyon and all three scoters, long-tailed ducks, and
the snow bunting Paul Higgins reported yesterday along the causeway. A
partial trip list may be seen below.
