Yesterday afternoon I drove to Red Creek Road, just north of Strawberry Reservoir in Northeastern Utah. The temperature was about 40 F and it was beautiful. There were a lot of people out and about on snowmobiles, and out on the ice fishing. It was a day to see a lot of wildlife. Right at the junction where Currant Creek meets Red Creek, there were about 30 deer. One of the 30 was a very nice 3 or 4 point buck. It's antlers had not yet dropped. In the sky overhead were 3 bald eagles, diving at each other, and just having a good time. Darting across the county road was a little cottontail rabbit. No wonder the eagles were nearby. Farther west on Highway 40, about where the Currant Creek Road meets Highway 40, there many more deer, including two small bucks. Sitting on the ice, next to one of the few openings in Red Creek, just below the junction with Currant Creek, was a rather large beaver, knawing on some willows. Farther west, going down Parley's Canyon, just before Salt Lake City was a herd of elk, enjoying the scrub oak. It looked like everyone and everything was out enjoying the beautiful weather.
