Winter brings a large population
of bald eagles and raptors to Farmington Bay WMA along the Great Salt Lake in
northern Utah. On one of my first safaris there in 2008 I counted 172 bald
eagles...wow. Utah's winters are cold,
forcing many raptors and owls to hunt in the daytime. This gives us a
chance to photograph birds
like bald eagles, short-eared owls, barn owls, northern harriers, American
kestrels, rough-legged hawks, and many others that hunt the refuges. We travel to Antelope Island in the
Great Salt Lake where species such as Chukars, pronghorn, bison,
mule deer, great horned owls, bighorn sheep, and coyotes roam the
island. |
We meet in Woods Cross, Utah, just five miles north of Salt Lake
City on I-15 on Sunday night, January 28. Local hotel accommodations and
restaurants are relatively inexpensive and I generally stay
at the Comfort Inn in Woods Cross. Up to three other
photographers can ride with me from California if you are
doing the Yellowstone Winter Safari, or ride with me each
day from Woods Cross.
The deposit is 50% via check, Paypal, Venmo, or credit card, and
the balance is due halfway between the deposit date and the
safari date unless you are booking within 3 months, then
full payment is due. The main safari page has other
info. Link

I've spent my 40-year wildlife photography career shooting
in the American West. The first 24
years shooting out of Utah, the past 16 years out of
California. The photo safaris that I lead are all to
the best locations, at the best times, during peak wildlife
activity periods. What a rush it has been.
