Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge Morning
In case you missed my opening post, I'm just back from a long van trip and am reliving the trip by posting a few images from each chronological location. I started in Durango, Co and my first stop was Dugway, Utah, located south of Salt Lake City. After one night there, I headed to Bear Lake Migratory Bird Refuge, located north of Salt Lake City. I found a nice RV park near the park and spent one night there. Here's an image of sunrise at the Refuge. There were a lot (thousands) of cliff Swallows, lots of Clark and Eared Grebes, Avocets, Stilts, and a variety of ducks among other species. The Refuge is a long loop road that surrounds a canal and wetlands. After posting a couple of more images from here I'll be off to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, just passing through on my way to Palouse. (I had a "Plan A" itinerary that was completely flexible until later in the month, when I was meeting my friend Sid from Seattle to head to the San Juan Islands via ferry. What I'm trying to say is that every day until meeting up with Sid I would decide where to head the night before the next day. As it turned out, I had never seen Palouse so that destination won out over spending more time in the Tetons and Yellowstone, where I had been many times.) Birds to follow!
