Bald Eagle Day at Hasenyager Great Salt Lake Nature Center

It was a relatively short drive to Farmington for Bald Eagle Day at the Wildlife Management Area. It was a chilly, rainy day, so we dressed up in snow clothes. Ikey looked for brine shrimp in a fish tank. We found some. 

Unfortunately, over fifty bald eagles have died from West Nile Virus in Northern Utah recently, so DWR decided not to throw out carp to feed them this year, so there weren't big flocks of birds. We didn't see any bald eagles, just a great horned owl and red tail hawk at the nature center. 
 We went on a little snowy hike and found out we were the only all-weather hikers at the event.
