[Birdtalk] buntings, waxwings, grouse

[Joel and Kathy Beyer]

This morning on the Antelope Island Causeway we saw 3 Snow Buntings at
the first bridge, 5 Long-tailed Ducks at the second bridge, and 9 Snowy
Plovers, 2 Black-bellied Plovers and a Least Sandpiper in-between.  No
scoters were seen.  
A flock of 25 Bohemian Waxwings were seen flying over in Fruit Heights
(Davis Co.).  
This afternoon another flock of 20 Bohemian Waxwings were at Shingle
Creek CG on the Mirror Lake Byway (Summit Co.).  A female Dusky Grouse
was sitting on the side of the road at about mile marker 2 on the Mirror
Lake Byway, and very obligingly allowed us to stop next to it for some
nice views from four feet or less.
