GSL Bird Festival Day 1

The Great Salt Lake Bird Festival is amazing.  For more information go check out their website at: http://www.greatsaltlakebirdfest.com/

Friday I drove down after work. I had hoped to go to the class on the evolution from dinosaur to bird but ended up at the Bear River Wildlife Refuge where I saw an astonishing number of birds that damp, drizzly evening.
