[redcliffs] Additional St. George birds 09-16-07

[Rick Fridell]

Hello Everyone,

In addition to the fine Cape May Warbler Peyton found this morning at the
Red Hills Golf Course (9/16; Washington Co.) there was a Vaux's Swift flying
around between 7:00 and 10:00 (last observed over the apartments along 700
West at 10:00a). There was also a first-fall male American Redstart near the
pond at the golf course.


I'd also like to emphasize Larry's request to be on our best behavior while
birding at the Red Hills Golf Course.  It is exceptional to have access to a
golf course for birding and recently, I believe, they've been questioning
this policy.  In addition to the suggestions listed by Larry (check in, stay
to the margins, etc.) avoid the golf course when golfers are active (please
go early in the morning or late in the evening) be low key and stay out of
the way, keep off greens, tee areas, and fairways, and limit group size.

Hopefully if we're careful we can maintain our access to this birding area.

I'll try and send a couple photos of the Cape May Warbler to Milt for
posting.

Best Regards,

Rick Fridell
