10.31.24 Roadsides, Utah (California trip Day 3)

  From 10.29.24-11.6.24 my father, brother and I drove from Chicago to San Diego and back. This is part of Day 3. 

See all of the California trip posts at the California trip 2024 page. 


It's amazing what wildlife you can find just by driving around! A Common Raven on an Interstate highway sign and Pronghorns at the side of the highway! We were just stopping at a gas station, when we spotted Black-billed Magpies and a Merlin flew past! While near that gas station, we also saw Mule Deer, a Red-shafted Northern Flicker, and a beautiful Oregon subspecies Dark-eyed Junco!
