[Birdtalk] Provo Airport Dike - 11/8/08 Dunlin still there.

[Eric Huish]

I made a quick trip around the PAD this evening with KC Childs and his friend Sean (they just came from Oregon this morning).  We were there as the sun was setting.  The Dunlin is still on the mudflat on the East side of the dike loop.  There were a few more Dowitchers there today and a Least Sandpiper.  Along the West side we saw a Loggerhead Shrike and a great sunset.
 
Here is a list of the birds we saw -

I stopped at the Provo Cemetery yesterday after work hoping that the mountain snow may have pushed some mountain birds into the valley.  There wasn't much there. -
