[Birdtalk] 10/2 - Swede Lane, River Lane, Provo/Springville

[Jeff Bilsky]

After work, headed down Kuhni Road in Provo and saw a BELTED KINGFISHER.
Headed over to Swede Lane next. In the fields around there were many
SANDHILL CRANES. The proverbial bird deck has definitely been shuffled in
that area. Saw the first SPOTTED TOWHEES I have seen out on Swede in quite
some time. WHITE CROWNED SPARROWS everywhere and a plethora of YELLOW RUMPED
WARBLERS. The end of Swede Lane, by the lake, was especially birdy.
Chattering MARSH WRENS, and some noisy WESTERN GREBES led the charge. A lone
ORANGE CROWNDED WARBLER asked to be noticed. I also flushed a GREAT HORNED
OWL as I drove past a large tree. Got to River Lane too late to do any real
in depth birding - didn't see much - what I more noticed was how all the
COMMON NIGHTHAWKS have vanished. Swede list below.

May your birding be good.
