[Birdtalk] Salt Lake County Sunday

[Tim Avery]

This morning Paul Lombardi, Jeff Bilsky, Carl Ingwell and I birded the Salt Lake International Center.  Paul, Jeff and I had an empid that appears to be a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher early in the morning. Yesterday the IC was basically migrant-less, and this morning was a nice change of pace with a few notable arrivals:

2 Yellow Warbler
1 Yellow-rumped Warbler
1 Nashville Warbler
10 Wilson's Warbler
2 MacGillivray's Warbler
1 Orange-crowned Warbler
10 Western Tanager
3 Western Wood-Pewee
1 Willow Flycatcher
2 Bullock's Oriole
6 Lazuli Bunting
50 Chipping Sparrow
4 Common Nighthawk
1 Spotted Sandpiper
1 Rufous Hummingbird
4 Other flyby Hummingbird sp.
5 species of swallow (all but Violet-green)

We birded along Lee's Creek where there were a handful of shorebirds, including:

2 Long-billed Dowitcher
150 Western Sandpiper
10 Bair'd Sandpiper
2 Least Sandpiper
1 Lesser Yellowlegs
2 Greater Yellowlegs
1 Spotted Sandpiper

And at Saltair we met up with Colby Neuman where there was a Northern Waterthrush in the trees at the marina.
