On to Antelope Island...

This was what I came for! My lifer for the trip (besides the Moose...)

Chukars
Saw about a dozen Chukars in total but a few perched for a photo op.

A herd is maintained on the island.
Barn Owl
He did NOT want his photo taken and made it pretty difficult for us to get an unobstructed shot!

An old ranch tractor stands outside. The ranch represents 135 years of western ranching history.
A prairie Falcon was giving us good views.

Antelope Is. Beach.
Very shallow water goes out for miles. You would have to walk out about 1/2 mile to be able to swim. (Very salty, very smelly! Showers are provided!)

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge
We had relaxing drive through the refuge during the later morning hours, although it was a little late for many birds.

Swainson's Hawk
Swainson's Hawk, Mtns South of Huntsville.
This intermediate morph Swainson's was calling and calling when finally a second hawk flew to join it.
Horse Riding...
The mountain trails were so pretty to ride through we couldn't resist! You are looking through "Lucky's" ears! I was trying not to drop my camera!

Me and my horse.
"Lucky"!
And he gave me luck!
Moose!
We finally saw our Moose! (and the ears of a female).
Does that make it Mooses? :-)
