Winter Raptor Tour: Promontory Peninsula

On of the great joys of winter is close views of all the wintering raptors, and few places have a greater opportunity to see those raptors than the lands to the north and west of Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. We will go west from Corinne to Golden Spike, then down the east side of the Promontory Peninsula, then up to Howell, and finish off the day around Salt Creek Waterfowl Management area looking for owls at dusk. Besides raptors, other birds potentially seen include Horned Larks and their tag-along Snow Buntings and Longspurs, Sage- and Sharp-tailed Grouse, plus Gray Partridge, Chukars and Pheasants, and maybe swans and other waterfowl.
NOTE THIS WILL BE AN ALL DAY TRIP, FROM DAWN TO DUSK, AND IS SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION DUE TO WEATHER.
Salt Lakers and those from the south will meet at ShopKo parking lot on 13th E in Sugarhouse at 7 AM. Those from northern areas can meet up with us at the Bear River MBR headquarters.
Contact Bryant at 801-498-0362 or bryant...@yahoo.com to sign up.
