[Birdtalk] Great Scaup at Mantua

[Tim Avery]

I had to pick some photos up from Bear River MBR this morning, so I used the
afternoon to bird around Mantua, Willard, and Farmington on the way home.  I
spent some time driving around Mantua checking all the spruce and pine looking
for some seed eaters.  Surprisingly, NONE were seen, in fact the only songbirds
seen around town were a single House Sparrow and a flock of Starlings.  I
decided to do a quick scan of Mantua Reservoir.  There were 17 GREATER SCAUP
near the dam.

At Willard Pond (the pond just north of Willard Bay), there was a flock of 8
REDHEAD.

Glover Lane was pretty un-birdy. 6 Red-tailed Hawks were around as well as 1
Rough-legged were the majority of the birds.
