We spent Saturday afternoon at White Rock Bay on Antelope Island State Park. The Great Salt Lake was mirror still and the bay was covered with thousands of Eared Grebes. We saw hundreds of American Avocets sweeping for food in the shallows along the causeway (pictured). A few European Starlings were hanging out with (on) the island Bison. Two new birds for us: the Orange Crowned Warbler and the Savannah Sparrow (pictured). As we hiked we spotted a Loggerhead Shrike (pictured on the rocks). We also used our Nikon scope to watch a very entertaining Rock Wren.
Other birds seen:
Western Meadowlark
Red-wing Blackbird
Chipping Sparrow
Song sparrow
White-crowned Sparrow
American Pelican
Northern Harrier
Canada Goose
Killdear
Willet
Raven
I like your photo of the sea birds on the shallow (glassy) sand bank, your third photo down. Nice capture.
We had a great time on Antelope Island when we were there
