Here are a few from the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. It is less than one hour from where I live, so it is one of my favorite spots. The last one was taken at Farmington Bay on the Great Salt Lake in the middle of winter. The third photo is of a pair of grebes doing a mating dance. It is not as sharp as I would have liked, but it happens so fast and only lasts a few seconds that the camera was still swinging into position when the shutter released.

Very nice pictures, all but the last two really unique! Did I miscount? I counted 16 GBH in the last picture.

Thank you all for your nice comments. For UTMike: I actually live in Malad Idaho, just 13 miles north of the Utah /Idaho border.
