Bear River Birds
Although my trip in July to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in Utah was a bust (child-rearing was already over) I did get a few nice images. The Western grebes look similar to the Clark’s grebe, but the black on the head covers their eyes. See the difference.
One spot on the wildlife drive had all three species of swallows on one patch of reeds.
The yellow-headed blackbirds are quite stunning.
A video interlude:
Birds weren’t the only critters of note.
I found a male marsh wren protecting his nest.

The pelicans look like an avian drill team, all diving and moving together.
