Pandion Haliaetus

A couple of weeks ago, Doug, Pete, and I spent a morning chasing Osprey up by Flaming Gorge.

A quick Trip To The Island

Yesterday I was able to make a quick trip out to Antelope Island with the hopes of seeing some wildlife.  Well, there wasn't much to see, but it's always good to get out.

A Few Bucks

The other night, I took a drive with a couple of my kids out to Antelope Island.  We happened to come across a few mule deer.  It's fun to see the bucks this time of year while they are still in the velvet and still getting along.

Yup, seven of them.

Check out the a-typical rack on the guy on the right.

Moose

The last couple of weeks, my family camped in a spot that happened to be home to some moose.  It was a lot of fun to hang out with these guys.  It was obvious that they were used to the company as they weren't worried about us being around.

This last guy was found while we were wandering in a different area.  He did a good job staying in the shadows and was a long way away, so this was as good as I could get.  It was still fun watching him.

On our last morning, I switched things up and shot a little video.

A Trip To The Island

This morning, a couple of coleauges and I headed out to Antelope Island to see what wildlife we could find. It wasn't a bad way to spend a few hours.
