Murph and I toured
Antelope Island State Park Sunday afternoon. There looked like a storm coming but if we didn't get any photos we would still have had a great time. BUT, we did get some neat photos and some funny ones. The list of wildlife seen and experienced reads like a marketing brochure - buffalo, coyote, chukar, meadowlark, antelope, kestrel, jack rabbits, burrowing owls! Plus a couple of good landscape big sky scenes which pretty much dominates everywhere you look out there. Well worth the $9 entrance fee many times over. Plus Murphy got to run and run and run - he ran so hard, he had to stand until he got his breath; he tried to lay down and couldn't get enough air! I'm not sure he ever saw a rabbit, but I know he smelled them!!

| Classic Chukar pose - they sure can run fast! |

| A pair of Burrowing owls - they are not very big! |

| Big sky |
 |
| Goofy coyote ran a good mile in a big circle around us out on the mud flats. |

| Antelope loping along. |
 |
| Antelope threatening us - his front left leg is pawing the ground and he made noises!! |
 |
| This guy let me see him, but not Murphy. |
 |
| The ubiquitous Meadowlark - what joy and beauty in their songs! |
