After breakfast we packed up, checked out and started home. Of course, the first 25 miles were through the refuge so we drove fairly slowly, often stopping to take photos. As was the case in Sept 2014 when I was up there, there were a lot of red-tailed hawks on the way out. A pair of very cute fawns and their mom made us smile. As did the Sandhill Cranes and the Antelope hanging out in the field.
We made it home about 5.5 hours later, not a bad drive on I-15 for most of the way.
Morning fog around the lodge and lake.
The Kingfisher was out hunting in the fog.
Quiet and ghostly, the pelicans slid by.
Mountain bluebirds are beautiful but so hard to photograph - always moving. Here's a couple that are relatively in focus.
The Sandhill Cranes and the Antelope were out eating in the field.
Trumpeter Swans on Upper Red Rock Lake - they 'trumpeted' while we were stopped, very unique sound.
Here's the fawns.
Redtails everywhere.
I wasn't sure what this was but my expert said it was a newly fledged red-tailed hawk.
Cowboys rounding up cattle. Much of the area around the WMA is private and cattle are everywhere.
