Wildlife Refuge

I went to Salt Lake City two weeks ago. On the way home, I stopped by the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. It's about a 12 mile drive through the refuge with birds everywhere. It's very flat, with lots of waterways and ponds teaming with wildlife. I was the only one there that day. Flurries of snow faded in and out. It felt peaceful and wild.

These Pelicans are awesome creatures. They look strange and awkward, but are wonderfully graceful and elegant in the air. Their beaks are very odd, but I expect they think they are very handsome (and useful).
