[TopOfUtah] Cache Valley Sandhill Crane Chick

[Buck Russell]

I know that Sandhill Cranes are not rare in Cache Valley, but seeing a Sandhill Crane chick is rare (at least I rarely ever see them).  There is a pair of Sandhill Cranes at the Benson Ox-bow with a chick.  I was able to get great looks at the chick from the overlook parking lot.  I met Bob Atwood at Sue's pond (aka Mitigation Ponds west of Logan Landfill) and he pointed out a Red-necked Phalarope that is still hanging out at the pond.  There were also a couple of Long-billed Dowitchers, Spotted Sandpiper, Bonaparte Gull, but no peeps.  
 
Thanks.
Buck Russell
