Description

Date: May 21st

The mountains just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah provide some of the closest and easiest to access nesting habitat for Flammulated Owls, and by far the best opportunity to see these birds anywhere in the world. Often one of the last North American owls for ABA listers, Utah has become the go-to location to see this bird! Once dark (usually about 15-30 minutes after sunset), we will use our time-tested techniques to elicit a response from an owl. Once we've found a responsive individual we'll attempt to track the bird down, and briefly shine our low-temp LED spotlight near the bird, and use a laser pointer to provide directions to see the tiny owl. Oftentimes other nocturnal birds show up on this tour. Common Poorwill is encountered with some frequency, while Northern Saw-whet Owl and Ruffed Grouse show up from time to time as well.
