The Great Salt Lake, which is often derided as being a nasty, smelly, inhospitable piece of work can also have snippets of beauty, if you look closely and go on a winter adventure with the family.
In late January/Early February the wetlands become a sanctuary for Bald Eagles. So, gather up the crew, put on some warm clothes and boots and don't forget your binoculars. Winter adventuring can be lots of fun. We saw several eagles in the distance and only one close up, it flew straight over us and it's wing span was HUGE!
Tucked in, nice and cozy.
We see you!!
Oh, hello there. If you look closely, I know, my camera skills leave much to be desired, you can see this little fella's bright feathers.
Nice, drab feathers to keep the predators away.
Binoculars up!
Or...periscopes. Whatever.
Happy wintering.
