We'd like to share with visitors the beauty of the spring migration and the mysteries of our wetlands. We'll show visitors how wetlands and birds depend on each other and how we depend on both. All events are free and are a joint venture of the Division of Wildlife Resources and Utah Partners in Flight. The connection of wetlands with birds and humans is found in many ways. The international migration of hundreds of bid species connects Utah with Central and South America. For instance, the same oriole seen nesting in Utah this summer may have spent the winter in Costa Rica. These migratory bids travel thousands of miles to winter in the south, then return to Utah's wetlands to breed and raise their young. All types of wetlands are important impor-tant to birds. Riparian wetlands.or streamside woods, are particularly important for willow flycatchers, SOS Staffing Services opens Vernal office SOS Staffing Services recently opened their first Vernal office located lo-cated at 27 West Main Street, Ste 1.

Several other species, like the northern (Billock's) oriole, broad-tailed broad-tailed hummingbird and the lazuli bunting are still abundant but at risk, because of the loss of wetland habitats in North America and the tropics. Just as birds are connected to wetlands wet-lands as a source for food and shelter, shel-ter, humans are connected to wetlands wet-lands as well. Pioneers often settled close to wetlands that provided a source of food and water. Also, wetlands are often connected connect-ed with groundwater basins, lakes, rivers or streams. These wetlands help keep water clean by retaining sediments and transforming and storing excess nutrients. Wetlands also are valued for their ability to moderate flood waters.
