[Birdtalk] Fw: eBird Report - Farmington Bay WMA North , 9/1/08

[Doug Roberts]

Hi All,

Farmington Bay (Utah) was amazing today. During a heavy rainstorm, the pond near the yellow house was full of birds. I saw about 30 Least Sandpipers (I think).  In that same pond  were Snowy Egrets, Killdeer, Greater Yellowlegs, Mallards, and Avocets, all very actively feeding in the agitated water. I had a great time finding lots of species today at Farmington Bay.

Comments are welcome. 

Thanks,
Doug Roberts
