2cy bird. Wing tagged 9A3 UTAH. Seen in a group of 11 birds. Don't know if it was the same group as on February 5 and 22. Tempting to believe it but didn't see 5J2 though, so could be another group. Report: Tagged on June 25 2013 in nest before able to fly. Sex unknown. GREAT SALT LAKE , BOX ELDER COUNTY, UTAH, USA (COORDINATES: LAT: 41.29167; LON: -112.85833).
