Gyrfalcon Along The Antelope Island Causeway
Yesterday was a day I won’t soon forget as I saw and photographed a Gyrfalcon here in Utah. The Utah Bird Records Committee has accepted only six previous records of Gyrfalcons in Utah and the most recent one was in 2001.

Golden Eagles Playing In The Wind
For the past several weeks I’ve sporadically been photographing Golden Eagles on Antelope Island. Yesterday morning was the most fun (and the most disappointing) time with them yet.

In my view the male Northern Pintail is the most elegant looking duck I see regularly.
