Sandhill Cranes

 Sandhill crane chicks are out and about now..I followed adults and a chick as they walked and hunted in the grasses below Goose Egg Hill at the refuge..

Antelope Island Friday

 Good to be back out on Antelope Island.  Helps clear out the brain.

Two things I hadn't seen before...1. Lots of Willetts everywhere, on top of sagebrush, in the grass and everywhere else.  2. Lots of Burrowing owls. Everywhere we turned it seemed that there was a nest of owls. Little cuties!

The usuals...buffalo, and meadowlarks. One antelope and one deer with two fawns. The bison had their kids - Red Dogs - with them in a large herd down by the ranch.

a few flowers along the way..
