[Birdtalk] Wasatch Hollow Park

[Tom Fletcher]

I did some low-key birding in Wasatch Hollow Park today (17E & 17S, 
SLC). Lots of Western Tanagers, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Yellow and 
Wilson's Warblers. Also, the first Green-tailed Towhees I've seen at 
this location. Full list below.

Also, there is a new sign there designating the "Wasatch Hollow Natural 
Area" as part of the Salt Lake Open Space Program, and another sign that 
says they are planning to open up and improve more of the park (which is 
currently fenced off). I'm glad, this is a really wonderful place.

Cheers,
Tom
