Mother's Day




Hello and Happy Mother's Day to all you that are mothers!
Mom and I and Murphy had bagels this morning and then went out to the wildlife refuge. The birds were everywhere - herons, avocets, stilts, terns, yellow-headed blackbirds, grebes, coots....and on and on! And of course, the ubiquitous Canadian geese perpetually honking.

The Forster's tern is a fascinatingly agile bird - here's a couple of shots as he hovered overhead looking for food!

Lazuli Bunting



If you have never seen a Lazuli Bunting, here you go! They are the most incredibly beautiful birds, only in Salt Lake City for a short time in the spring! Their color is just unbelievable and we sit on the deck with our mouths open in awe when they honor us with their presence!!
