Stor Salt Lake Birding og natur eventyr
Beskrivelse
Den Store Salt Lake er hjemsted for millioner af avlende vandfugle, og huser endnu flere under migration, der tilbyder et unikt kig på fuglelivet i modsætning til andre steder i staterne. Intet besøg i Utah er komplet uden et besøg i søen – ”Americas Dead Sea”. Vores Great Salt Lake Birding og Nature Tour er en perfekt mulighed for at besøge den store Salt Lake og lære om flora og fauna af dette verdens under.

Rejseplan
Det går selvsagt, at ethvert besøg i Utah ikke er komplet med at gå til Great Salt Lake. Af langt den mest efterspurgte destination for fuglere besøger Utah, har vi kommet op med et par muligheder for at give enhver fugl en dejlig introduktion til søen. Søen er den største rest af Bonneville-søen, en forhistorisk regnvejrsø, der engang dækkede en stor del af det vestlige Utah. Med hensyn til areal er det den største sø i USA, der ikke er en af de store søer.
Uanset hvilken tid på året, starter vi altid med at besøge selve søen via Antelope Island Causway. På trods af rekordlave vandniveauer de sidste par år giver fortauet stadig en stor intro til fuglene i Great Salt Lake. Hele året vil vi se Utah State Bird - California Gull - spørge os om historien, og vi vil med glæde dele historien om denne unikke statsfugl! Flytter vi videre til øen vil vi bruge lidt tid på at lede efter American Bison, Pronghorn, Coyote, Burrowing Owl, og Great Horned Owl blandt andre arter!
Her, hvor ferskvand møder salt, skaber de brakkede områder en utrolig overflod af mad, og i sin tur et utroligt antal fuglearter. Om vinteren samles Bald Eagles her langs wiht gylle, og talrige arter af vandfugle. Under migrationen kan 50-60 fuglearter ses i en temmelig kort periode, da vandfugle, kystfugle, vandfugle, wadere og dykkere brænder op på deres våde nord og syd. Om sommeren er opdrættere som Clark's Grebe, Western Grebe, Sandhill Crane, Common Yellowthroat og Virginia Rail alle mulige. Hvis du kun har et par timer til at gå på fugleopdagelse og ønsker en smag af, hvad søen har at tilbyde, er denne udflugt en perfekt måde at blive bekendt.

Because I had booked my hotel per Pitta's recommendation, I was picked up the night of our Flammulated Owl tour at the hotel right on time. Tim Avery is very easy to go with and talk to and extremely knowledgable on all things birds. We learned a lot in between spots. The night was a bit windy making vocalization difficult to hear, but Tim found a relatively calm area and voila - the Flammy came out. There was a little perserverance involved but ultimately we not only heard the owl, but were able to get photographs as well which was beyond expectations. All in all it was a great experience.
My guide, Quincy, was wonderful; he arrived right on time to pick me up at my hotel. He is an experienced guide with extensive knowledge of bird habitats. He took me to two locations where I thoroughly enjoyed birdwatching, and later—at my request—he dropped me off at the Aviary, which he happily did.
We had a wonderful morning of great birding with Pitta Tours. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable and a ton of fun. As we had no transportation, we were even picked up at our hotel. I am hoping to travel back to the area in the future and will certainly book another trip with Pitta!
We took a two-day, one evening (owling) birding tour with Pitta tours. Quinn was our guide. He was excellent! Quinn was very nice and very knowledgeable. We went as a group, two birders and two first-timers. We got 131 species in two days. It was an absolute pleasure, and we would highly recommend Quinn, Tim and Pitta tours!
I would highly recommend a birding outing with this company. I spent 6 hours with Quinn and loved every minute of it. Even in March the diversity of birds was fantastic. I saw 22 new species in one half day! Quinn is super professional and knowledgeable and just a sweet heart of a guy. Worth the money spent for sure!
Thank you so much for the review! We love having Quinn at Pitta and are glad you enjoyed your time with him in the field!
