Antelope visit

 Sunday morning at Antelope Island was interesting.  Not a lot of animals..at least ones that we got close too. A large herd of bison and one of antelope were off in the distance. 

But there were a lot of people, unusual for an early Sunday morning. A group of 'spotters' moved around, one had found a couple of large bucks.

Still it was great to be out in the wide open spaces again..

Enjoy!

Sunrise over the Wasatch

Morning light reflections..

Watchful but not alarmed..

The Lonely Bull...

I think this is a couple of duck hunters that came in across the lake to the wildlife refuge area. The low-rent approach..

Refuge Tuesday

 Molly and I visited the refuge Tuesday...a very quiet day with a few hunters in the distance and lots of ducks in the safe areas. Not many raptors or other birds other than the Great Blue Herons...

Enjoy!

The Gathering place..Herons are often found here in groups during hunting season. It's a safe place away from the noise.

Why did the pheasant cross the road...

A Ring-necked duck..all alone with a bunch of Coots..

Some obnoxious visitors while trying to eat lunch..

Timing - not always planned for, but in this case, the apparent fish in the GBH's mouth is actually the head of a Canadian goose just behind it. Go figure..
