|
| Chukars Saw about a dozen Chukars in total but a few perched for a photo op. |
 |
 |
Buffalo 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! |
 |
 |
Barn Owl "If I don't move they won't see me..." |
| Wasatch Audubon Birders A very friendly group! :-) |
 |

Fielding Garr Ranch, Antelope Island An old ranch tractor stands outside. The ranch represents 135 years of western ranching history. A prairie Falcon was giving us good views. Photo © Copyright 2006 Keith Evens. |
| 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!) |
 |
 |
Antelope Is. Causeway, looking back toward Salt Lake City This is where Chukars were seen once we entered the island. |
| Visitor Center Sign Entrance to the visitor Center |
 |
 |
A young Long-billed Curlew ... pretending he was a marbled Godwit! |
| 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. |
 |
 |
BRMBR... Storms blew through the area. |
| White-faced Ibis Edge of the road, BRMBR. |
 |
 |
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! |
 |
 |
"Lucky"! And he gave me luck! |
| Moose! We finally saw our Moose! (and the ears of a female). Does that make it Mooses? :-) Links - Wasatch Audubon Society Return to - Copyright © 2023, All rights reserved. 2439 |
