We had a great time bird watching yesterday.
We went to a new location around the great salt lake.
I really loved this quote. And another one that
said we need people to realize that the birds and
the lands they migrate to are important. If we as people don't
decide they are important we are going to lose them.
I loved all the information spots along the walk way. The walk way
is actually over the great salt lake, but right now it is so low
you don't even realize that there is water under you.
We walked up the big tower, it was fun to be above the birds.
We saw some red winged black birds flying below us,
and it was fun to watch them and actually see the red in their wings.
Not sure why this spot was made this way,
perhaps there are times where you can see
different animals in the water.
I've been trying to photograph birds
in flight, it's very hard. I can never keep focused on the bird.
After leaving the Great Salt Lake shorelands preserve
we headed to the Farmington Bay bird preserve.
There were lots more birds here, probably because there was
more water. This is a Double-crested Cormorant.
A Great Blue Heron.
American Kestrel.
A Sandhill Crane.
A Tundra Swan.
It was so much fun to see some new birds.
Have a wonderful week.
