[TopOfUtah] Baird's Sandpiper-Logan

[Craig Fosdick]

Yesterday afternoon, I found 4 Baird's Sandpipers at the Logan Mitigation
Ponds/Sue's Ponds, on 1900 West, just west of the Landfill in Logan, Cache
County.  All four birds appeared to be juveniles. When I first arrived, all
four Baird's were on the first pond south of the access road.  After 15
minutes, they left and went to the far south/southwest corner of the largest
pool, which I believe is called the "Shorebird Playa".  The Baird's (and
other "peeps") were still visible when they were on the far side of the
playa, but a scope with a zoom eyepiece is very helpful.  You can walk
around the pond, but you run the risk of flushing the birds that are
present.

Other shorebirds present at the same location were:

Lesser Yellowlegs-3
Killdeer-20
Long-billed Dowitcher-2
Willet-6
Western Sandpiper-2
Least Sandpiper-1
American Avocet-32
Black-necked Stilt-3

Good birding, Craig.
