[Birdtalk] Alpine Loop - Pine Grosbeak, Peregrine Falcon

[Eric Huish]

I drove the Alpine Loop this morning with my parents, up American Fork Canyon and down Provo Canyon. 


Pretty quiet. Best birds were a Pine Grosbeak along Timpooneke Road maybe a mile past Timpooneke Campground and a Peregrine Falcon at Aspen Grove.
