Deer Creek Reservoir
These hardy folks are ice fishing and were one of three other parties. However, on the weekend this reservoir is jammed with people. They set up little houses, have stoves, and sit around on folding chairs while they wait for the big one. As soon as the ice is four inches thick (that's right, four inches, not four feet) they are setting up for a day of fishing. That large orange ended thing is an ice auger for drilling a hole in the ice about 12 inches across. They are many meters from the shore and some even close to the middle of the reservoir.
Thought that this was a Golden Eagle, but the GE does not have a caramel colored Breast

ReplyDeleteI like the bird but have no idea what it is. We need an electronic field guide. Great pictures.

ReplyDeleteThe last picture is really my favorite--It looks like Norway or Sweden not Utah.
