Tips for birding Visitor Center and Loop Road
From Utah Birders website

About Visitor Center and Loop Road
The loop road begins when you reach the island. Typically for birding purposes, you will want to go to the right at the large sign where the road splits. From here the road passes through mostly shrub-steppe as it heads west till you reach a pull off at Lady Finger Point. Lady Finger Point is also a hot spot in eBird and more location can be found on its location page. The road loops back to the southeast here passing through open grassland with mixed shrub-steppe and quite a few exposed rocks. The Visitor Center rises to your left and can be reached by taking the road up to it. The habitat surrounding the visitor center is the same, with more exposed rock. Heading south the habitat is all open grassland and mixed shrub-steppe as you head south along the large beach to your west here. Imported sand was brought in hoping to make a great beach atmosphere before the lake started receding. The road eventually turns east and heads across open grasslands before coming to a T intersection. Going right will take you to the White Rock Bay & Corrals hot spot, or going left will take you back to the north where you can access the Road to Garr Ranch, and Garr Ranch, as well as the Marina, the Causeway, and the start of the loop road again.
