Saturday, December 14th 2024 will be the 69th year of the annual Christmas Bird Count for the Logan, UT count. First begun in 1955, The Logan Christmas Bird Count is our Chapter’s contribution to the world’s largest, oldest citizen science project on Earth. Please join us.

We can use beginners as well as experienced birders to find owls, falcons, and odd ducks, even feathered ones. Contact Val Grant, 435-757-9519, or Hilary Shughart hilary.shughart@gmail.com, for more information or to join the Count! With your assistance and a wink from Mother Nature, we could break 100 species – again!

“Utah Wildlife Federation -Utah Wildlife Walls muralist Chris Peterson and I agree that the impact will be much greater if the east-facing walls are included in the mural project, and he has asked for species suggestions – I had initially contacted him with the idea of Plants for Birds, showing the birds and butterflies, etc. which benefit from native plants in the home landscape, but the more detail and species, the less impactful from a distance, and the higher the price tag. Then I tried recalling the various species we thought might be suitable candidates as a mascot for the Logan City Forestry Division, and then I may have had a eureka moment: how about the White-faced Ibis, the very reason for the Cutler Reservoir and Marsh Important Bird Area of Global Importance (thanks in no small part to Bryan Dixon and Kim Sullivan), a legacy project of BAS[Bridgerland Audubon Society] and IBA partners, including PacifiCorp and the Bud Phelps WMA.” [Hilary Shughart, Mar 13, 2024]
