Bear River Refuge

Is located on the edge of the Great Salt lake about 1 hour north of Salt Lake City, UT in Brigham.
There ia a 12 mile road to go through the refuge. It was fairly quiet when we were there except for the hunters! A little bit past the major migration time. It is a major stop over point for many migrating birds. Have tried to include a representative sample of what we saw there. Click on thumbnails to enlarge each image.
