A critically endangered bird-world resource is the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Historically, the numbers and diversity of bird populations has been simply awesome. The lake is easily accessed from Slat Lake City and it has been a long-time favorite of birders. Unfortunately, this shallow inland lake is in serious danger of drying up.  The many years-long drought has robbed it of input water that sustained it in the past. We have just experienced a very wet winter which has provided some relief, but it is not nearly enough to restore it to healthy levels.
