[Birdtalk] Antelope Island & Causeway

[Roostertael at aol.com]

No shorebirds yet, but of course that could change tonight. I did see a  
flock of 50+ Mountain Bluebirds just past the entrance, and three Sandhill  Cranes 
out on the flats near the entrance. A flock of Eared Grebes is at  the marina 
bridge. On the island, the Sage Thrashers are up and singing.  They are easy 
to see right now. I saw two today and three a week or so ago. A  few Burrowing 
Owls have shown up. Ravens have taken over the Barn Owl box at the  hay barn. 
A couple of Loggerhead Shrikes on the way to the ranch, and part of  the 
cottonwood area at the ranch is roped off because of the Great  Horned Owls 
nesting there I went around the area, but only saw a  few birds. Robins, Juncos, 
White-Crowned Sparrows, and a Hermit Thrush. I did  not spend much time there. 
Lots of Meadow Larks singing along the ranch road.
