birds of a feather

I have an enormous love for animals…wild animals to be exact. There is something so magical about seeing them in the wild doing their thing. I grew up in Star Valley, Wyoming with wildlife EVERYWHERE, it was amazing. I remember one night my Dad came home from a late night shift as a police officer and found a huge bull elk sitting in our yard. He woke us up and took his police spot light and we just stared at this amazing creature. The quiet of the night, the snow falling, and this elk just sitting there all confident and majestic. I will never forget it!

I could spend hours watching wildlife and the last couple days I have done just that at the Farmington Bay Wildlife Refuge! I don’t have a great lens for this kind of photography, but I think I captured some amazing shots of so many different kinds of birds. Apparently, February is national bald eagle month in Utah. The eagle’s migrate here for the winter and I bet I saw over fifty! There were SO many, it was incredible.

If any of you know the specific species of any of these birds let me know in the comments! Also, can you find the picture of the bald eagle going after the golden eagle?
