[TopOfUtah] Cache Valley: Mountain Bluebird

[Buck Russell]

Thanks to Ryan’s tip about the Red-breasted Merganser I went to the “swallow bridge”  in Benson.  Not only were the Red-breasted Mergansers present, but there were also Common Mergansers and over 37 Double-crested Cormorants (they took flight before I could count them all).  In a field just south of the bridge I saw my first of year Mountain Bluebird.  At the ox-bow there were Cinnamon Teals, Green-winged Teal, Greater Yellowlegs, and lots of American Avocets.  I am still looking for my first of year Black-necked Stilt.  In Benson, near the LDS church, I saw the California Quail that were reported yesterday.  Seeing a Mountain Bluebird makes today a “perfect” day.  
Thanks.
Buck Russell
