Help especially needed in Syracuse, Clearfield, Kaysville and Nephi

Want to help a group of kids have one of the best experiences they’ll
have all summer?

Sandy -- Kids can catch fish, shoot arrows and drive remote-control ATVs at this year’s DNR Youth Outdoor Sports Fair.

Ogden -- Seeing and hearing just one tundra swan is enough to make your heart jump. Imagine seeing and hearing hundreds of them. You can at Tundra Swan Day.

You may have seen them in Utah this winter: deer, moose and herds of elk nipping at salt-covered grass near the side of a road.  Most of the animals you saw were probably alive. But a fair number were probably dead, killed by vehicles flying down the road.

Is it real or is it photoshop? We think its real and quite interesting. If you know anything more about this moose please leave us a comment.

Dimitria sent us these beautiful winter photos.  Don't forget to double click on the slideshow to view the full size images.

Enjoy! 

The Wild Bird Center leads free nature/bird walks. The cost of the walk, as we like to say is "enthusiasm." We provide the rest. We leave the store at 8 a.m., (unless otherwise noted) and carpool to the destination. The walks are designed for birders at all levels, especially families. Dress for the weather and bring binoculars. The Bird Walks are led by Bill Fenimore or other local experts.

The  is a flycatcher.  It ambushes insects that it hawks on the wing, as they fly by its perch.  Pewee sallies from an ambush perch take place throughout the day.  It will return to these favorite perches where they can be observed.

Many birders can tell you the bird they saw that got them "hooked" into birding. The hook bird of the late Roger Tory Peterson, famous bird illustrator, artist and original author of the modern day bird identification field guide was the Northern Flicker.
