Logan Canyon

Card Canyon branch-From Logan, head up US-89
 about 10 miles, this may be a little far as my GPS
showed we weren't there yet and we passed it.  IN
 any event there is a Ranger Station on the north
side of the road, and a small road that crosses 
bridge on the south (right side).  Turn right here
, beware the road is snowy and you need a 4 
Wheel  Drive Vehicle, or you may get stuck.  
Follow the  road about 3/10 of a mile around the
 curve to the  "parking area".  There is a sign that 
say closed gate  500 feet.  Park here and walk to 
the gate continue up  the canyon about ½ mile, 
you will come to another r gate across the trail.  
This is where you hang a left  up the draw into
 a bowl to the east.  You can see where our snow
 shoes headed off into the Juniper.   The trail w
e created is fairly defined and easy to  follow. 
 It heads east, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 a mile.  The  
area is at the bottom of the canyon, with  the south
  slope being Juniper and the north slope being
conifer .  The nearest GPS reading I have is:
111*39'10.25" W
41*45'45.25" N
This is fairly close to where the bird was seen.

Antelope Island

When you get to the island, take the right hand fork
and go toward the visitor center. As you pass the
visitor center road (on your left) continue south
approx. 1/4 mile (towards beach), there is a little
pump house on the east side (left) of the road. As
you pass the pumphouse, you will curve (right)
directly west.   As the curve straightens (apx.
100 yds from pump house) and before you turn
into the next curve (south)(left), the owl will be

about 25 yards off the road to the north (right).

around 10 this morning. There's a caution sign as you
 go up the canyon a short distance before the dam that

 warns of dangerous curves for the next 3 miles or so. The bird was seen a hundred yards or so before the  sign on the west (downslope) side of the road

East Canyon

Between mm 4 and 3 on SR-66 and closer to East
Canyon Reservoir.  He also said the spot is further
up the canyon (toward the dam) than  the DWR
property at  Redrock Canyon.  I think there's a
brown sign denoting the Redrock area as East
Canyon WMA.
