Professional Bird Photography Guide at Farmington Bay - Best Time & Tips for Morning Sessions | Perfect for Nature Enthusiasts & Wildlife Photographers

RECAP:

We had a fantastic time at Farmington Bay! Mary Anne Karren showed us how it's done by army crawling through the grass while the rain was coming down. The rain didn't stop us from getting the shot and we were able to capture some awesome birds, especially the Blue Heron! Canon Rep, Kyle Valla was able to capture a notable image of a Blue Heron snagging a vole! This years photowalk at Farmington Bay was another total success! 

Spring in the Great Salt Lake provides essential habitat for millions of migrating and breeding birds that thrive in our climate. Farmington Bay, Utah is home to more than 200 species, and nearly 60 are known to nest there. Some species you'll find in the springtime are Western and Clark’s Grebes, American White Pelicans, White-faced Ibis, Sandhill Cranes, Black-necked Stilts, American Avocets, and Snowy Plovers.
