Eric Bingham led the trip this month to the Logan Sewage Lagoons.
He brought along an excellent printed guide for identifying many of our common duck species at a distance.

We were anticipating low water levels and therefore low species counts, however we ended up with 22 bird species 10 of which were waterfowl. Some highlights were Green-winged Teal, Bufflehead, and Ruddy Ducks for the waterfowl. Other notable species include Great Blue Herons, Morning Doves, and a Kingfisher.

There were about 18 attendees with a couple of newcomers!

*****

For our first trip of the year we will be visiting the Logan wastewater treatment ponds AKA the sewage lagoons. These lagoons are home to many waterfowl species and while the water levels are low, we hope to still see some of these species including Golden-eyes, Gadwalls, Widgeons, Ruddy Ducks, and more. We may also see the occasional hawk or sparrow.

We will be meeting at Smiths Marketplace on 700 N Main St at 8am for carpooling or if you would like to follow us to the location. If you plan to meet us there, Turn west on 600 N from 1000 W in Logan and follow W 600 N to the gate. As this location is not generally open to the public, we will have someone opening the gate for us. Those of us carpooling will be arriving around 8:15am.
