To See a Bird, Come to Salt Lake

   To see a bird, come to Salt Lake. At times, there are more than 7.5 million of them at the Great Salt Lake. Pelicans, songbirds, eagles, gulls, and swans -- they're all there, more than 250 different types of birds.
   So, if you want to see a bird, come to the Great Salt Lake. I wonder if we could do more to market this to tourists. Is the Great Salt Lake as great of a place to see birds as there is in America? I don't know. I do know the lake is known around the world for its wetlands. There are 257 different kinds of birds. Wadepipers? There's a beautiful bird. There are a half million of them. At times, a third the world's population migrate to the Great Salt Lake. Grebes? They are pretty, as well, and are wonderful swimmers. There can be 2.5 million of them, as about a third of the North American population migrates to the Great Salt Lake.
   It is claimed by some that more people come to see the birds than come to the Great Salt Lake for any other reason.
