[Eric Huish]

I birded the Provo Airport Dike this morning. There are Eastern Kingbirds everywhere.  There are also lots of Common Yellowthroats singing in the moat along the west side of the airport and I saw two weasels, one on the south extension and one on the west extension.

I birded Grove Creek Canyon at the East end of Grove Creek Dr (500 N) in Pleasant Grove (Utah County) yesterday morning. I only birded the mouth of the canyon. There were a lot of Western Tanagers in the area. I also saw a Townsend's Solitaire. Shouldn't a solitaire be at a higher elevation in July?
