Sharp-Tailed Grouse

A few days ago, I had the opportunity to go out with a wildlife biologist on Antelope Island to release sharp-tailed grouse. The trip was part of a project to re-introduce the birds around Utah. I wrote an article about the birds and introduction efforts here, and you can also view a slideshow with more images from the day. A few of my favorite images are below. Enjoy.

 

Antelope Island

I made my first visit to Antelope Island yesterday since moving to Utah a few weeks ago. I climbed Frary Peak in an attempt to find some big horn sheep. I never found them, but it was still a beautiful climb, including the pair of bison that were waiting on the ridge near the top. Enjoy the photos.
