[Birdtalk] Big Day

[Joel and Kathy Beyer]

The plan was to do a big day in Davis County on Sunday.  However, the
Palm Warbler at Bear River beckoned, and we tried for that Sunday
morning, without result.  So at 9:30 am we figured, what the heck, go for
a big day anyway.  The result of which was a Davis County total of 117
for the day.  Not bad for a late start.  Highlights, in no particular
order:

Causeway -- Red Knot (6), Dunlin, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Wilson's and
Red-necked Phalarope, Baird's Sandpiper 
Garr Ranch -- Dusky Flycatcher, Cassin's Finch, Lincoln Sparrow,  House
Wren, Colby Neuman (not counted in total)
Antelope Island -- Brewer's Sparrow, Peregrine Falcon
Farmington Bay WMA -- Solitary Sandpiper (3), Blue-winged Teal, Horned
Grebe, Semipalmated Plover
Mueller Park, Bountiful -- Cooper's Hawk

Including our jaunt to Bear River, our total for the day was 124 species.
