Birding Antelope Island

It's been over a month since I have been able to do some serious birding. I wanted to get out to Antelope Island before the Phalaropes had all moved on so that is where I went today and what a wonderful day it was. 40 species in all and some nice bonuses, including a new life bird Northern Waterthrush, unfortunately I was not able to get a picture of the Waterthrush. Here is my list and then I will list some pictures:
