Day date photos March and April 2022

 

The past couple of months we have had some fun adventures.

I am having a "little year" of bird watching.   I am enjoying seeing all 

the birds as we go out on our dates.  Above is a Tundra Swan.

This is a Sand Hill Crane. 

An American Kestrel.

This could be a Prairie Falcon.

I so enjoy finding new places to explore. 

There is always something new to see and learn.

This is a park on the Great Salt Lake. 

You have to use binoculars to see the Bald Eagles out

on the Great Salt Lake near Antelope Island.  

I was so glad to see them again this year.

We have had fun driving around Antelope Island

and seeing the Bison.

I wonder if the ones that are by themselves

and not with a herd are young male bison.

Sometimes they stand right in the middle of the road.

They are pretty cool to see.

Do you know the difference between a Raven and a Crow?

Ravens have a hooked beak, and glide about. 

This is a Raven.

We Spent a day at the Hogle Zoo.  

I had thought we were going to have a nice warm day,

but spring has been pretty cold.

I love the stripes on the Zebra.

The Lions were very nice to pose in such a regal manner.

I think this Orangutan was feeling a little cold. 

I wonder if the Apes stand and people watch. 

Rhino's seem like such a prehistoric animal.

 

This wild cat looked so cute, you would

think you could take it home. 

Despite the cold I got to test my photography skills out

on all the Zoo animals.  It was fun.  Perhaps we will go back when it

is a little warmer.

We had an ice store a few weeks ago and

I got some nice photos of my back yard bird.

I believe it is a Lesser Goldfinch.  

On another day off we went for a walk along the 

Provo River.  This is an American Dipper. 

Here is a pair of Golden Eye Ducks. 

This week we went back to Antelope Island.

I wanted to see if there would be any baby bison.

I think the lone male bison decided to have a day

at the beach.  Which meant we could not

go on the beach.

Another new bird for my birding of the year.

A Meadow Lark.  I might start listening 

to bird calls.  This one sounds so beautiful.

Here is a herd of Bison.  I can see some babies.

If you go take binoculars as the herds are usually really

far away from the road. 

We probably won't go back again until fall. It was pretty buggy out.

We did have a lot of fun adventures out here this winter and spring.

This might be an American Pipit. 

Do you like bird watching?

Have you watched the movie 

"The Big Year."

It was a fun movie.  

Well hope you enjoyed my photos.
