“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]
