American Avocet lift-off
Our neighbor, Millie, organized an airboat outing on the Great Salt Lake for us and some of her friends. I made a good use of the chance to test the VR capabilities of the 70-200. Bird photography requires more throw yet, but it was a fun recon mission. I'd like to go back in August when the phalaropes are migrating through, or in October for the 10,000s of eared grebes. Wouldn't that be something?
A rather large fan; our guide was very careful to make sure we had our ear protection in place each time he throttled up.
A great basin speciality - the White-faced Ibis.
The Great Salt Lake water level is recovering from several years of drought.
