Saturday June 29, 2019 I left early (5:00 a.m.) in the morning to visit the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.

I ended up making the circle twice and I’m very happy I did. It … More Bear River Refuge – June 2019
At Camas Northern shovelers: Anas clypeata I see a lot of Northern shovelers in the places I bird regularly. They seem to be omnipresent at Camas National Wildlife Refuge and at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. I love this colorful bird and his huge shovel like bill. He was one of the first birds … More Featured Bird: Northern Shovelers
