Salt Lake City. It sits on northeast edge of the
Great Salt Lake (which, by the way, is very low. All
the boat ramps are high and dry). Had an amazing
afternoon:
American Avocet white pelican clarke's
grebe
Yellow headed blackbird black necked stilt western
grebe
Sandhill crane marsh wren franklin's gull
Eared grebe canvasback ruddy duck
Northern shoveler scaup (lesser or greater?)
white-faced ibis
Long-billed curlew black crowned sparrow snowy egret
Hundreds of canada geese thousands of coots lots
of lbb's
Mystery plovers
There's a great visitor's center that I didn't spend
much time in today. I'm going to do the whole thing
again tomorrow. One of the volunteers at the center
said "There's a lot of romance going on out there".
My campsite is 50 yards from the Great Salt Lake to
the west and ½ mile from snow covered mountains to the
east. Only the traffic noise from I-15 takes away
from the edenic surroundings. Had a nice campfire.
It's getting a little chilly but it's not supposed to
go below freezing tonight. I'm the only person in the
campground.
