[Birdtalk] Utah county birds - willet, snow geese, etc.

[Lu Giddings]

I forced myself away from work long enough to spend a few hours in the 
sunshine this afternoon. It was nice to see spring birds arriving or 
passing through on their way to points north. I didn't see anything 
unusual, but did make a few noteworthy observations:

- my first willet of the season was seen in the wetlands about a mile 
north of the bobolink fields in Genola, and two sandhill cranes  in 
roughly the same area
- 22 snow geese were seen in the Benjamin slough area
- more Clark's grebes and American white pelicans on Utah Lake between 
Lincoln beach and LeBaron point
- tree swallows in a number of place along the south end of the lake
- a flock of 60 or more common ravens in Elberta, along with a 
ferruginous hawk and a great-horned owl.
