\"FrostyFrosty rabbitbrush and a male American Kestrel<\/span><\/p>\n

I know a lot of people are suffering because of the heat of summer so I though I would post an image of a male American Kestrel perched on a frosty rabbitbrush.<\/p>\n

It was very chilly that day and I am glad I had my gloves on but even so my finger tips got numb. The background behind the American Kestrel<\/span><\/a> isn’t actually sky, it is the frozen Great Salt Lake.<\/p>\n

The temps are supposed to be in the low to mid 80’s today, much different than winter in the Salt Lake Valley.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
