Our first stop was the butterfly haven, but that blogpost has not yet been written. I am still trying to identify the butterflies. Melinda and I proceeded to bird the area known as McTucker Ponds. We were not expecting to see very many birds on this hot August afternoon, but we did see a few and hear a few more. The biggest surprise were the two Greater yellowlegs! Without my big lens I got few photos. On the other hand, this is going to be a great place to bird during the migration seasons. What I love most is how close it is to Pocatello. – Jenny
