[Birdtalk] 10/22 - Swede Lane/ River Lane - Utah County - SANDHILL CRANES

[Jeff Bilsky]

I birded River Lane and Swede Lane after work this evening, hoping to repeat
my luck of the other night, but it was not nearly as birdy. The highlight by
far was two flocks of 30+ SANDHILL CRANES heading South over the fields East
and South of Swede Lane. This was around 5:30ish I'd guess on my way to
River Lane which was pretty dead other than the noisy ATV's. Then over to
Swede which still offered some groups of YELLOW RUMPED WARBLERS and a few
chattering MARSH WRENS down by the Lake. Additionally I wanted to mention I
saw some GREAT TAILED GRACKLES in Springville in the fields East of I-15 and
North of Walmart.

Good Birding.
