[Birdtalk] Provo Airport Dike - 9/30/08

[Eric Huish]

This spring when I started using ebird I made a goal of trying to bird the Provo Airport Dike every week (The Occurrence Charts in ebird for the Airport Dike looked week).  
 
I know I should be posting more often. I've been lazy and I'm ashamed of myself.
 
A list of the birds on the Dike today is below.  I birded after work and it was hot out. I would have done better had I been out in the morning.  Most interesting sighting for me was two Yellow Warblers which ties my personal record for late Yellow Warbler north of Washington County (9-30-04 Lower Provo River Parkway).
