Spring in the Great Salt Lake provides essential habitat for millions of migrating and breeding birds that thrive in our climate. Farmington Bay, Utah is home to more than 200 species, and nearly 60 are known to nest there. Some species you'll find in the springtime are Western and Clark’s Grebes, American White Pelicans, White-faced Ibis, Sandhill Cranes, Black-necked Stilts, American Avocets, and Snowy Plovers.

Come join us as we take advantage of the prime wildlife conditions at Farmington Bay using telephoto lenses. We will meet at 6:30am in front of the Great Salt Lake Nature Center. From there, we will separate into different groups.
