I didn't want to trip and break my finger again.<br />
<br />
This picture was taken about 15 minutes after one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen. It was still spectacular.<br />

Andy the Andean Condor. He was one big bird! He started out perched on a log at ground level, then decided to hop/fly to a higher vantage point to check us out. </div>

I wanted to show off Bear River Wild Bird Refuge to Rita and see the swans which have started to arrive in mass. Only, we couldn't find any. Saw lots of coots, duck and grebes, as well as some harriers, hawks and even golden eagles.<br />
<br />
Pied-bill grebe:<br />

<br />
Finally, I found a dirt road that is normally closed and we found where the swans were hiding in a resting area way to the north of the refuge!<br />

It looks like a recent upgrade to my Nik software now has options for making photos look like vintage cameras. This could be interesting...<br />

I went for a hike and saw these two. Supposedly there was also a baby somewhere near the mom (or is that the baby and the mom is missing). The bull was about 2 miles away from them standing on the trail. He wasn't very nice by not letting me get a good picture (he ran off into the brush when he heard me approach).<br />
<br />
A few of this plant (not sure what it is, but I like the looks of it in the sun)<br />

The reason: it went to parts of the west side of Antelope Island that the public is not generally allowed to go visit. There were some bison and antelope, but not many today.<br />
Since I was running, Mark let me borrow the little point and shoot olympus. It did it's job and was lighter weight than my Nikon.<br />
<br />

Elephant Head. Picture was at about the 7.5 mile mark, looking north. We had crossed over it at about the 5-6 mile mark then went down into the valley. I now realize why it's named Elephant Head:<br />

8 shot pano of the valley. this is the area that is normally off-limits. It was a 1000' climb from the bottom to the top (pic was taken just shy of the crest):<br />

I'll be running around this in two weeks. Run starts in lower left, goes over the hill on the left, then down and around the valley towards middle of picture and over/around the hills on the far right of the island. We'll then come back around on the east side of island.Lori Foringerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07961695353266672530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955224808897385868.post-86350761984419135552013-10-07T19:26:00.001-07:002013-10-07T19:26:23.602-07:00Antelope Island<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
