Another place that I have wanted to visit is the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge so Sean and I took a little day trip there yesterday. I'm pretty sure that Sean only agreed to go with me because I offered him lunch but he ended up really enjoying it! We saw lots of different kinds of birds and it was fascinating even though we couldn't identify very many of them. I quite enjoyed the pelicans and Sean loved seeing a blue heron. I found the wetland habitat to be both peaceful and beautiful.
To get to the refuge, take I-15 north to Brigham City (exit 363) and follow the signs for about 1/4 mile. There is a Visitor's Center and a 1.5 mile walking trail that you can take through the wetland. We went on the Auto Tour which is 12 miles beyond the Visitor's Center and includes a 12 mile loop through the heart of the refuge. It is a one-way dirt road (it is very well maintained) that is open from sunrise to sunset. There are quite a few turn outs so that you can park and get out to observe the birds. I really enjoyed the whole tour and I recommend it (go here for more information).
