Posting from the refuge

Last Friday morning, Murph and I went out to Farmington Bay Wildlife Refuge; we hadn't been there for a while and wanted to catch up on what was happening.
Well, what was happening at 8:30am was duck hunting - a war zone, it kind of sounded like! So we took a walk on a dike that looked like it had no hunters on it and enjoyed the sun.  Lots of mosquitos and lots of grebes. The grebes are a lot cuter than the mosquitos!

The colors on the Wasatch are spectacular - the cold weather and rain due this week will probably get rid of all the leaves, but in the meantime, WOW! We also spooked a blue heron who flew in circles around us for 5 minutes squawking all the time :-). A wonderful time to be alive and outside.

The fish was just too big for this guy!

I love their red eyes!
