Northern Harrier
"fishing" in the Great Salt Lake
Oddly enough, I saw a bird of prey standing on the Great Salt
Lake which, of course, made me pull over
on the causeway on my way off Antelope Island. I wasn't sure what
bird it was until it tried to take
off with a dead duck in its grasp. It failed on numerous attempts
but it didn't
stop trying until
it was pretty much exhausted. I considered it quite a treat to witness
a harrier "walking on water".
I knew the GSL was shallow, but not that shallow. ©
