[Birdtalk] RFI: Wood Ducks

[Kristin Purdy]

Cameron,

This is not exactly in the Salt Lake City area, but Beus Park in Ogden, 
Weber County, hosts a breeding population due to the efforts of Wasatch 
Audubon to establish the species there many years ago.

Here's some info on Beus, including directions:

You could also check Layton Commons in Layton, Davis County. It's further 
south, of course. Layton Commons is a city park that contains a stretch of 
Kayscreek and runs west of a collection of Layton City buildings including 
the police department, city hall, schools, and Surf n' Swim. From exit 329, 
drive north on Fort Lane through the stop light intersection at Main Street, 
north through the stop light intersection at Gentile and turn left (west) 
onto Wasatch Drive. Wasatch Drive is a loop road that services the park 
areas and Layton City buildings. Park anywhere except the police car parking 
spots (hee-hee) and walk west until you hit the paved path that runs along 
Kayscreek. I've seen Wood Ducks there up and down the creek, along with an 
oddball collection of other waterfowl.

  Hi All,

  I'm in the area for the next couple of weeks and was curious about 
locating Wood Ducks in the SLC area.  It seems they are at local parks to 
some extend in the winter but are harder to find at this time of year.  Is 
there any reliable spot in the area to find Wood Ducks?  Places with good 
photographic potential would be preferred.  A good spot to photograph flying 
White Pelicans would be great as well. Thanks in advance for any help in 
location these species.

  Cheers,
