Fine landscapes. The birds will be back another day. They bring back memories of duck hunting that I haven't done in many years.

Thanks, Chief, I did get a few birds, but nothing like last time.

I was the old devil in the Audi Q7. Mia from the bird watch site was there also and got some great loon shots.


So was/did Mia's partner, Ron Dudley of Feathered Photography. Will check out Mia's site as I haven't visited there for a few weeks. I get Ron's blog emailed every morning and saw the loons.

I went to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge yesterday morning because (1) to go next week would require getting up an hour earlier for the same light angles, (2) the morning temp would be a balmy 32 F and (3) the week long freeze killed the bugs.

My best laid plans went afoul. As soon as the sun came up, I was in the midst of as much gunfire as I have seen for a long time. Evidently I failed to notice duck season was ongoing. This, of course, put an end to any plans for me to park and stroll the water front. Hunters are notoriously unamused by people strolling past their blinds.

So, either no birds were migrating or they took cover during my early visit. I will post the few bird shots I got later.

I guess the blinds worked as far as camo goes. I didn't see any & the ducks in the last pic never noticed either. Nice set. This time of year you have to check the parks website to when (if) the allowed hunting days are. Be safe 7 wear neon orange!! Haha.
