Henry's Fork Float

Madi, Harry, and I left at 6:00 this morning to float part of the Henry's Fork with Trevin, Riley, and Matt. It was a beautiful morning on the river and a great float, even though we didn't catch any fish. As a birding expedition, it was more successful. We saw lots of sandpipers, a Great Blue Heron, and a very majestic Bald Eagle sitting in a tree right next to us as we floated by silently. We saw and heard a lot of birds that we couldn't identify, not having the field guide or binoculars along. As we floated under Highway 33, there was a huge colony of cliff swallows who had built their nests out of mud on the underside of the bridge. We were on the water by 7:00 and home by 11:00. Here are a few snapshots from the trip. Madi took the one of me rowing.
