Bear River 21 Dec 12

So on the Winter Solstice and the day the world is predicted to end we (Mark is here!) went to Bear River Bird Refuge.  We saw lots of cool birds (and some coots...)

Mark had control of the camera for the shots of the bald eagles:



We saw a short-eared owl sitting on the side of the road, this was the best we could do.


Not quite able to id this guy.  He was real close to the car, but I put the camera down to admire him when he flew away.  Oh-well.



Again, not sure why the herons are still here.  Was a bit amusing watching them take off from ice.


We also saw lots of harriers, a pheasant, many different types of ducks and some rough legged hawks.  Afterwards, Mark got re-qual'd to fly!
