Between migratory birds and the residents, my late Spring visit to Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge produced many photo ops.

I have been asked to identify the birds. This is far beyond my capability and I cannot get my Merlin to take a photo. My identifications are tentative and I welcome any corrections from UHH birders.

Comments and suggestions on the photos are welcome.
