[TopOfUtah] Logan Mitigation Ponds aka Sue's Ponds, 4/26/09

[Craig Fosdick]

Birded the Logan Mitigation Ponds aka Sue's Ponds and the Logan Fish
Hatchery this morning.  No exciting shorebirds to report; two peeps
tormented me be flying fast and low over the ponds and then proceeded to
make for the next county.  Lots of cold and hungry swallows, lots of
Yellow-headed Blackbirds.  Highlight was a second-year PEREGRINE FALCON
(which I have found tough to find in the county) perched in the big tree
(willow?) along Utah 30 at the Fish Hatchery, the tree with two dilapidated
trailers underneath.  The PEREGRINE was seen as I was driving back to Logan,
not seen on my first stop to bird the hatchery.

Checklists below.  Good birding, Craig.
