Ghostly Coyote
Yesterday there was a thick bank of fog over Antelope Island State Park but we saw quite a few coyotes moving in through it, all of them looked ghostly.

This blur was not intentional, but I do like the effect caused by the head of the Burrowing Owl spinning. Makes me dizzy just viewing the photo!
I felt it was time to put the beauty of the adult Burrowing Owls in the limelight.
If I had not been paying attention to the first magpie's activity and behavior I would have missed the opportunity to photograph these birds and their nesting habits over the next several weeks.
One photographer might have better vision and be able to spot birds that the other person may not have seen. Four eyes are better than two.
For a long time I have wanted images of Common Ravens, they are intelligent birds, and a challenge to photograph.
Pronghorns are North America's fastest mammal, they can attain speeds of more than 40 miles per hour, with spurts to 70 mph and can out run almost all of their predators.
Sage Thrashers are from the Mimid family. They forage mainly on the ground for insects, though they do eat berries at times.
We almost missed this Coyote and had to back up the vehicle to take a few photos. The coyote was laying down on a small hill and at first it barely lifted its head and still appeared to be dozing in the morning sunlight.
If you have never had the opportunity to photograph Burrowing Owl juveniles I would suggest you find a burrow and be prepared to laugh yourself silly.
