Beautifully composed and presented, Mike. Fabulous detail in the downloads.
Thank you, Joe, I am getting too old to shoot big lenses hand-held, but it works in some shots.

Good set Mike. Particularly the first one.
Thanks, Frank, I had the car to brace me for that one. I realized that shooting a 600mm with a 2X tc hand-held is getting to be a challenge.

Nice shot of the Avocet!
Thanks, Elliott, they were some distance, but the shot cropped well.

That's another bonus, for sure. The Yakima River Canyon route is somewhat similar in all its curves. How far is this sanctuary from where you live?
Thanks, Linda, it is 76 miles one-way. It is north of Salt Lake City. To get good morning shots this time of year I need to leave home by 6:00 am.

Very nice Mike, I really like the long-billed curlew!
Thanks, Jim, the golden hour sun at low angle really lit him up.

Great series, Mike. BTW you asked me if I was going to watch the eclipse today, it is so heavily overcast today and it might rain, so I doubt it, but will have a few minutes of darkness, YEA.
I appreciate your generous comment, Earnest. At least you will getting something out of it.

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is located where the Bear River joins the Great Salt Lake in northern Utah. It is home to 67 species and 210 species use it in their migrations. The 80,000 acre site has a 12-mile auto loop that circles the major marsh area.
This set shows the birds that I encountered on my way to the entrance for the auto loop.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
