1200 W 1700 N from Bing Birds Eye View
Description:
In the northwest corner of Logan this area is a wetland and marsh area, surrounded by grasslands, and the city to the east. There is no other information online about this location, so if you have been or can add anything, don't hesitate to comment below. It appears there is some shorebird habitat based on the species found here and along with the marshy habitat this is the focus.
Birding:
Most visits to the area appear to be from May and August, assuming this is specifically for shorebirds and potentially passerine migrants it eh riparian areas. In May look for SNOWY EGRET, WHITE-FACED IBIS, SWAINSON'S HAWK SORA, and WILLET. WILSON'S SNIPE and KILLDEER are probably found year round, along with AMERICAN KESTREL NORTHERN HARRIER, RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD, and WESTERN MEADOLWARK. During fall migration shorebirds appear to be the focus and in August you might see: SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER, and BAIRD'S, SEMIPALMATED, WESTERN, SOLITARY, and PECTORAL SANDPIPERS. This array of shorebirds is a nice grouping for such an area in Cache County. A variety of songbirds have been reported in the fall as well including: AMERICAN PIPIT, YELLOW WARBLER, CHIPPING SPARROW, and LAZULI BUNTING. Notably a mid-summer record for BOBOLINK suggest this species might breed in the area.
