Tabby Mountain

Tabby Mountain is just west of Highway 208 in Duschesne County Utah. It rises to over 10,000 feet in elevation. Efforts are being made to preserve the land adjascent to Highway 208 as winter range for the many deer and elk herds in this area. Yesterday, as I was driving along this 10 mile stretch of highway, which has an elevation of about 6500 feet, I was privileged to see 2 bald eagles near the highway. There was a herd of elk on the west side of the highway, and there were many deer. The snow was about 8 inches deep and the temperature at 2 pm was 13 degrees F. I can see why it would be a nice area to preserve. It was fun to observe such wildlife. Nearby on Highway 40 there was a moose and another bald eagle. What a pretty day.
