Birds, Words, Pics + TV
During our recent trip to Las Vegas, my wife booked us on a trip to the west rim of the Grand Canyon. It was absolutely amazing.
The west rim is on land owned by the Hualapai Tribe, part of their reservation. It’s definitely less crowded that other parts of the Grand Canyon, which made the trip even more special.
And, of course, I was able to photograph some new birds: Ravens (which are everywhere around the canyon) and a Rock Wren.
While driving down Joe Overstreet Road or exploring the Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area, I can’t remember a time I didn’t see a least one Eastern Meadowlark.
A friend told me about this spectacle at the inlet, where Ospreys circle overhead hunting for fish then come crashing down to make a catch.
The 11-mile drive is a great place for birding, and that includes during the dog days of summer.
