[Birdtalk] Report of Another Dunlin

[Kristin Purdy]

Today, I heard a report of another DUNLIN. Members of Wasatch Audubon saw 
and photographed one on Antelope Island's causeway in Davis County on 
Saturday. The bird was with a group of Killdeer north of mile markers 1-2.

This has been an interesting fall for this species in Utah. Dunlins are 
found inland rarely in fall and winter due to a more coastal migration 
pattern and yet, birders have found four in the state--October 11, Rick 
Fridell, Washington County; October 24, Ryan O'Donnell and Stephanie 
Cobbold, Cache County; November 6, Eric Huish and Ned Bixler, Utah County; 
and November 23, Wasatch Audubon, Davis County.

Sounds like an invasion to me!
