[Birdtalk] Garr Ranch

[Buck Russell]

My wife and I birded Garr Ranch and the Antelope Island Causeway this morning.  At the ranch we saw:
 Townsend’s Warbler
MacGillivray'S Warbler
Wilson’s Warbler
Yellow Warbler
Gray Flycatcher
Willow Flycatcher
Western Wood Pee Wee
SWAINSON THRUSH
WESTERN TANAGER
BREWER'S SPARROW
RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD
BROADTAILED HUMMINGBIRD
 
Sadly, we did not see a Nashville Warbler.  We did see a possible Orange-crowned Warbler, but it was a fleeting glimpse.
 
We saw the normal birds along the causeway.  Although I did try to turn a Long-billed Curlew into Whimbrel, but my wife and Mr. Sibley prevailed.  Along the road between the causeway and ranch we saw:
PRARIE FALCON
AMERICAN KESTREL
CHUKAR
WESTERN MEADOWLARK
 
It was great to get out and see some new birds for the year (the Townsend’s Warbler was a new year bird for me), and to watch the gulls do their thing of hunching over, lunging forward and power sucking flies.  
 
Thanks.
Buck Russell
