Birds!

 One of the other places we went to while I was in Utah was the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. It was awesome and I think Adam and Emma and Ellie and Lara and Glen would have loved it.  We saw lots of cool birds and the path we were driving on was a long the Bear River and it was beautiful! 

 Since Brigham City is not very far from the Bird Refuge we decided to take a short detour to see the beautiful new temple being built there.  Look at that!  Isn't is magnificent?! 

Near the visitor's center of the Bird Refuge. 


 A new kind of self-portrait.  A picture of the back of me and what I am looking at. 

 A ring necked pheasant. 

You have to look closely but there are two birds in this picture in the water.  I don't remember what kind, but they were cool looking :)


 I just barely caught the Great Blue Heron in the picture.  But I like it.

Another cool bird of which I do not know the name.

A snowy egret.

These ducks were fighting.  The duck on top was holding the other one under the water.  And the bottom one was kicking the top one with it's feet. We watched them fight for 5 minutes and there were no signs of stopping. 

Look at all of those pelicans!


Self-portrait of Timbo, Mamachka and I  :)

I liked this shot.

This one too.

The refuge was beautiful!  The birds were awesome!  And the company was great!

I went with Timbo in December and it is definitely one of my new favorite places in Utah! Great pictures.
