[redcliffs] American Redstart at Ash Creek Reservoir 9/26

[Rick Fridell]

Hello,
Today (9/26) I stopped by Ash Creek Reservoir (along I-15, Exit 36) on my
way home from working in Cedar City.  Highlights included a first fall
female American Redstart, a Virginia's Warbler, and a single Clark's
Nutcracker.  I  could only look around for a short time, but the habitat is
very good and the willows and sunflowers between the bridge and the
reservoir were hopping with birds (and somewhat muddy).
