[TopOfUtah] Sue's Ponds & Hyrum State Park (Cache Co.), 10/24/08

[Craig Fosdick]

Birded Sue's Ponds (Logan Mitigation Ponds) and Hyrum State Park this
afternoon.  Four Pectoral Sandpipers, no Dunlin at Sue's Ponds.  Bufflehead
and scaup spp. at Hyrum State Park are the first I have seen in Cache Co.
this fall.  Both locations had lots of gulls: at least 600 Californias at
Sue's Ponds, and over 1,500 (California/Ring-billeds, too far) at Hyrum
State Park.

Lists below.

Good birding, Craig.
