Fierce Stare

Check out that stare .. she didn't fly away either. We were in the car and can't usually be those close. Normally where we see them while driving like this the hawk takes off. This one never left.

Bad Hair Day?

There is no shortage of Hackberry Emperor right now. If you hike in the sun they are there .. and in large numbers.

Lone Gull

We drove through a bird sanctuary the first day we were in Utah for this trip. This is the only bird I was able to photograph. This is a Short-billed Gull.
