[TopOfUtah] Another fine day!

[Connie McManus]

What better way to spend a day off from work than to go birding!  The
laundry and the dishes can wait.  I braved the snow this AM and went first
to Milleville Canyon.  Coming back, I went along Hwy 165 North toward Macy's
from Milleville and found the swallows having fun over a pond.  After
forking over my first-born child for a tank of gas, I then went to the Logan
River Trail.  From my list of birds to see, I saw:  GREEN-TAILED TOWHEES,
VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS, TREE SWALLOWS and several kinds of WARBLERS!   me so
hoppy!
