Provo Airport Dike - 12/5/08
 
Ned Bixler and I drove around the PAD Friday afternoon (sorry for the late post).  Nothing too exciting. Best birds were a very bright Orange-crowned Warbler on the west side of the road just North of the control tower, a Herring Gull with the ring-bills at the Southeast corner of the loop, a Bald Eagle in the trees along the river at the North end of the dike road, a flock of Meadowlark just South of the control tower and we saw a distant shrike along the fence near the tower from the Southwest corner but when we drove up to the spot it was nowhere to be found.
 
Here is a list of the Birds we saw -
