Jackson Flat Reservoir provides a great opportunity to view a variety of waterbird species as they migrate through our state. In years past our biologists have observed 15+ unique species on the reservoir during this time of year.

What to expect:

• DWR personnel on-site to answer questions and provide information about waterbird species.
• We'll have some spotting scopes available at the viewing event, but you should bring your own binoculars if you have them.
• Dress warmly!
• A smartphone. if you plan to participate in the Utah Birding Slam* you will need a smartphone with the eBird app and your Birding Slam registration that can be purchased online or from any DWR license agent.

This waterbird viewing event is free and will be set up near the parking area at the reservoir.

Please note: Weather will determine if the event is held. If we need to cancel the event, we will send a notice to the email address you provide when registering for the event.

*The Utah Birding Slam is a simple way to add a little more fun to your bird-watching or "birding" — whether you're a beginner, an expert or somewhere in between.

The funds raised by the Utah Birding Slam will help support a variety of habitat improvement and research projects. These efforts will benefit many species, including the birds you enjoy watching.

Looking for a relaxed way to connect with other nature lovers? Join us for a birding social hour — a casual meet-up for adults who enjoy good conversation, fresh air, and a shared appreciation for wildlife.

An experienced birder will guide the group on a walk around our wetlands trail — typically about 1.5 miles. Whether you’re new to birding or already have a life list, this is a great way to unwind, learn something new, and meet other people who enjoy the outdoors. 

This event is free to attend, but we ask guests to bring a non-perishable canned food item to donate. We’ve partnered with the Bountiful Food Pantry to support those facing food insecurity in our community.
