Saturday April 27, 2019 The five of us (Shanna, Jenny, John, Bill, and Helen) gathered at my house just before 8:00. We loaded the car and headed north to Yellowstone. It’s so much fun to be in a car with a bunch of artists. So many ideas and projects are discussed. It is very inspiring. … More First trip to Yellowstone in 2019
Tuesday April 23, 2019 I first visited Thomas Manglesen’s Jackson WY art gallery sometime in the 1990s. I was hooked from my first look. Over the years I’ve purchased notecards, calendars, and books by him or including his photos. A few months ago I heard that the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole … More Jackson for the Manglesen Exhibit
Friday April 19, 2018 I went to a library Unconference in Rexburg on Friday and decided to take the long birdy way home. I checked at some previously unbirded locations such as Beaver Dick Park and a nearby slough but came up with nothing but robins, magpies, and an occasional Western meadowlark. Next I checked … More Market Lake and Environs April 2019
Friday & Saturday April 12 & 13 The Friday performance was a great deal of fun, though very, very cold. Hooray for Melisa who brought out her little buddy (a portable propane fuel heater). We stayed late because of barrel racing slack. I probably got back to my hotel around 11:00. Unfortunately, maybe, slack started … More College Rodeo – Grand Junction 2019

Sunrise this morning happened at 7:00 a.m. This meant I was up and out of the hotel by 6:30 so I could be at Antelope Island for the sun, or rather for the drizzle and clouds hiding the sun. Antelope Island never … More Early April at Antelope Island
Thursday April 11, 2019 Hooray for the ISU Rodeo Team. Because I go to their events I get out of town in the fall and the spring. Today, I left work an hour early and drove to Brigham City. Leaving early on Thursday shortens the overall drive to Grand Junction Colorado by a couple of … More Early April at the Bear River Refuge
Saturday April 6th I thought I would take a day and explore my nearby Northern hotspots. In particular I was hoping it was not to late to see Snow geese. The migration of waterfowl was in full flight. There were hundreds and hundreds of ducks of all kinds. Sandhill crane in the reeds Bald eagle … More Camas NWR and Market Lake- April 2019
Friday Mar 22-24 I always enjoy the Weber State rodeo in Ogden. The plus side includes the indoor arena, how close it is to Pocatello, the nearby birding (Bear River Refuge) and the shopping. The minus side includes the indoor arena. For personal comfort I like indoor arenas where the rain and the wind cannot … More College Rodeo: Ogden UT
