Just heading over the foothills/Emigration Canyon the ridge trail. However, when I got there, there was still too much snow for my liking. So, I headed down the other side to Dell Reservoir.
My intent is to just walk the road down to the reservoir but I see the trail is clear and not too muddy so I started down the hill. However, at the bottom, it's way to muddy.
I make it down a side trail to the lake.
And then I continue until I find a side trail heading back to the road -- too slippery, muddy for me!
Back at the road, I reach the parking lot and continue to the lake. On the lake I find a Merganser, a few Shovelers and a big surprise --- Tundra Swans including one immature swan!
How cool is that; my first ever Tundra Swans!!
They migrate thru Utah in Oct/Nov and just the other week, there was news about people finding 5-6 swans dead. Fish & Wildlife was investigating but thought the super strong winds may have played a factor.
Cool day!
