[Birdtalk] notable birds - Utah and Juab counties

[Lu Giddings]

The Utah County Birders enjoyed excellent weather today as we visited 
Mona, Mona reservoir, Goshen canyon, Elberta, Goshen, and Genola. 
Between dodging orange-clad deer hunters and camo-clad duck hunters, we 
still managed to see a few birds. Including a recon trip I made to the 
area yesterday, the following were observed:

- an osprey was seen yesterday at Burriston ponds
- a merlin was spotted this morning on Church Farm property in Elberta
- a very large flock of 1-200 American white pelicans was observed 
soaring several miles south of Elberta, above the hills that form the 
northern border of Dog Valley
- a very uncooperative common loon was spotted - between frequent dives 
- this morning on Mona Reservoir
- a Lincoln's sparrow was found in the dense understory along the Genola 
Warm Springs road

My thanks to all who participated!
