\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m hearing reports of Western Grebes and Sandhill Cranes migrating into the Salt Lake Valley and I suppose it won’t be very long before I hear the first reports of swallows migrating in too.<\/p>\n

Last year I photographed nesting Barn Swallows in the Centennial Valley of Montana and in the Targhee National Forest of Clark County, Idaho. I had forgotten about photographing this Barn Swallow in a fog at the Lower Lake of Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a> until I was going through my archives yesterday. It was one of those mornings where I thought the fog and the moisture in the air accentuated the colors in the birds plumage quite naturally.<\/p>\n

Lake fog isn’t uncommon in the Centennial Valley and there are times that I find images of my subjects in the fog very appealing.<\/p>\n

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