A bright and early morning of birdwatching at Utah Lake

For this nature experience, we got up bright and early and traveled to Spanish Fork to go birdwatching. We were led by Keeli Marvel and Janene Auger, a couple of expert local birders. We walked, watched, and listened for different bird calls, ultimately seeing or hearing 42 species, including a white-breasted nuthatch, sandhill cranes, great blue herons, a snowy egret, Caspian terns, and a barn owl.

We also stopped along the edge of Utah Lake, where we saw several types of waterfowl flying overhead and wading in the water. Overall, it was a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning!
