Still working my way through the photos from the airshow on Sat, so I'll post them as soon as I get a few more done. So, the wx wasn't perfect closer to the mountains, so I went to Antelope Island, where the sun was shining. Climbed Friary Peak (highest point), took almost 2 hours to go 3 miles, and 2000' elevation gain. I was hoping to get a glimpse of bighorn sheep, but didn't see any...
Looking west:
Baby bison...wonder if they taste like veal?
More Antelope
Swallow (he wanted to pose)
Wren (I think)
I got a glimpse of a burrowing owl, but he was too far to get camera on
Barn Owls: I came upon this guy in the corner. He was alert, but very I was concerned (although the guy in the visitor center didn't seem to care).
It worried me more when I saw this guy in the nest around the corner...hopefully they are alright
Inbound for landing:
i also saw some eared-grebes, but pictures weren't the best. And another sandhill crane, and pelicans, and...
