Questions, Bison, and Bats

Yesterday I had a school field-trip!  It was amazing, not just because this is a college course, but the place we went was really great!

The field-trip was to Antelope Island.  Where is Antelope Island?  It is in the Great Salt Lake, and depending on the water level is if Antelope Island is actually an island or is connected to the mainland.  Right now because of the low water level it is not an island.

Wendy the Park Naturalist was great, she stayed late just to accommodate our group.  She talked about the Great Salt Lake and answered any questions we came up with.  For me, one of the most interesting things she told us was about the different levels of salt in the lake.  She even had visual aids to compare the salt content of the ocean as compared to three different parts of the lake!

I would recommend Antelope Island to anyone visiting Utah, and even to those who live here!

On the way out, we saw bison wandering the island and even saw one that was to the side of the road, but I forgot too take my camera.  And driving on the causeway to get back to the mainland there were swarms of bats just flying overhead.  Where did all those bats come from?  It was interesting to see that many bats swarm!
