White-faced Ibis

Got some

So instead of birding around the area working to improve all skills needed for the job, I spent the weekend fishing with Brent and Brent (odd name to have two to a crew, right?). Yesterday we made our way slowly through snow and mud to Willow Lake, and only came back with one tiny Rainbow Trout. Today with hit up Indian Creek near where it leaves Antelope Lake, taking back a few Brown and Rainbows. Not a lot of pictures being taken by me right now, so old, random ones will have to do for now.

Amanda and I made an afternoon trip over to the Honey Lake Wildlife Area in order to get a peak at some birds we will likely not encounter for most of the summer, as it is sage brush country. Western Meadowlarks were everywhere and the small ponds we found were full of very skittish ducks.





My first (150 or so) White-faced Ibises


Killdeer were kicking around all over the place, nervously bobbing all the way
