Zion will be pretty close to birdless, but there are
some good stops. Take 395.

1. Klamath NWR, will be full of geese etc.

2. Susanville and Honey lake refuge CA. Incredible
spot in late March with 100,000 Snow geese and 80,000
cranes plus booming Sage Grouse.

3. Check Nevada birds list serve for Nevada hot spots
including Henderson Nevada for early migrants.

Zion may have Solitaires galore, not much else.
