Baby Stilts

On my first (of eight) birding trips to the Great Salt Lake for the Outdoor Retailers show this weekend, the highlights were two baby stilts with a parent on a pond right off the freeway, a couple of pronghorn antelope--including one running right alongside our van at 23mph--and two Barn Owls. With a lot of rain moving in and around the area, it will be interesting to see how the birds will respond. Its always somewhat different each day when I'm out there.
