Bear River Refuge visit

 We took advantage of another sunny day...and made a lunch and drove to the Bear River Wildlife Refuge. So nice and quiet to get off the freeway and begin the drive to the refuge. Kestrels on the power lines, plenty of water in the river as it moved small pieces of broken ice along, glistening and shining as they moved in the current. 

Stopped to eat lunch where we could see small white dots in the distance - tundra swans a long ways away. Molly investigated with a lot of sniffing around. We later got a bit closer to some swans but still a long shot. 

A Bald Eagle and a Rough-legged Hawk on the way in; Northern Shovelers, Swans and Harriers along the way.  One GBH.

A long drive..think I'll stick with Farmington Bay..
