Yesterday I took a short trip to Farmington Bay Bird Refuge hoping to get some BIF shots. Beautiful day with lots of people and few birds in flight. I did get some swimming photos of Tundra Swans. They took to flight just after I drove away. I found some duck and Ibis for a couple of BIF shots.

Included are some "scenery" shots so you can see what the bird refuge looks like.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Thanks, I took 20+ Shots of them until they landed on the ice. I am happy some turned out and glad you like #3 I do too.

Thanks, I wish I could get the mountains for every backdrop. Unfortunately, the birds don’t necessarily cooperate.
