Birding with Bridgerland Audubon at Logan Canyon Third Dam and Spring Hollow.

 
Meet at the southwest corner of the Smith’s Marketplace parking lot at 8 AM for carpooling to our destination. Spring Hollow campground is about 6 miles east of Logan on route 89. Participants are welcome to meet us there around 8:15 if driving themselves. You may be able to park across the wooden bridge at the campground entrance. If that lot is full there is additional parking just across the highway to the north. If crossing the road on foot use extreme caution! We will follow a paved road about ¼ mile up a moderate incline along a wooded stream. There is a good dirt road we will also follow along level terrain for about ¼ mile along the river to see more open riparian habitat. We should be able to see American Dippers and swallows under the bridge. Hopefully warblers will be present in the trees and brush including Yellow Warbler, Orange- crowned and Black-throated Gray. There are usually some Spotted Sandpipers along the river too. We will likely hear Fox Sparrows and see colorful Lazuli Buntings and Black-headed Grosbeaks.
