Yesterday, at Antelope Island, our guide at the bison pen told me there were Tundra Swan coming in to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, and that the peak would be around 40,000 by Thanksgiving. He mentioned that Northern Harrier Hawks were also in abundance there. This morning, around 5am (MST), I left for exit #363 on I-15, Forrest Ave. I arrived before sunrise, drove in and around once, and did the loop a 2nd time just for good measure. There were Tundra Swan. There were Northern Harrier hawks. It was a fun 6 hour trip. I got back in time to help finish raking and bagging the leaves in the yard.
A 20s slideshow of a Northern Harrier with, as far as I can tell, a clump of grass, spooked when it saw me taking its picture. It dropped the item and flew to the East. I've looked at each frame closely and I can see nothing that resembles food in the bundle it is carrying.
