Labor Day weekend! We drove over to a bird refuge area. You are pretty much only allowed on a loop road, as it is a very very big marsh area. Needless to say we say lots of new birds. Sam will tell you all about it. They are having a drought out here and consequently the water is low The Great Salt Lake was really low as well. A wild thought is the whole area of Salt Lake City is a ring of mountains and a long long time ago the ring was actually a huge lake over 350 feet deep. Huge in hundreds of miles long. Anyways you can see the "ring" on the mountainsides. Apparently the water burst through one end of the ring like a broken dam and voila, all the water ran out. Anyways, we had a fun day birding. All is well in Utah.
