The Most INCREDIBLE Day of Birding at Antelope Island

In my early birding career, this day was by far my best day ever featuring an incredible amount of species including many new lifers for myself.

Antelope Island hosts a multitude of bird species with it's various habitats. It has the causeway which hosts a ton of shorebirds and other species. There are the grasslands throughout the island where you can find Western Meadowlarks, Horned Larks, and various birds of prey. Then there is Garr Ranch which is more forested and has it's own species too! If you are in the area you definitely need to check out this incredible hotspot.
