[Birdtalk] Stansbury Island

[Douglas Roberts]

I took a little ride out to Stansbury Island on June 13. This island is west of Antelope Island. Have you ever been there? There are some beautiful mountain peaks and valleys, surrounded by a sometimes PINK Great Salt Lake. I saw just a few birds. See the "Mystery Bird", the first picture in the album. It flicked it's tail a lot. Can you identify it? I think that is it's mate flying above and left. 
I was dismayed to see all the quarrying work on Stansbury Island. On  the other hand, it was great to see that a new public hiking trail is being established. 

Lots of pictures, few birds.
