I was able to go with Weslie to Antelope Island for her 4th Grade Fieldtrip. We actually went back in October when the Brine Shrimp were migrating. I had no idea that brine shrimp are seasonal and so most of the migratory birds stop here during this time of year to feast. We caught several and brought them home. A few were fed to our Beta fish (Malibu) much to Weslie's horror. The other kids were just curious about what would happen. Weslie can identify the male and the female. (FYI - Brine shrimp are also known as "Sea Monkeys") For those of you who were wondering where Antelpe Island is . . . It is by Layton, UT in the Great Salt Lake. There is a land bridge to the island. A man from Texas brought buffalo to the island many decades ago. There are several still there. The island has many interesting tales and history. If you are curious - GOOGLE it.
The slide show to the right is a compilation of the pictures from the fieldtrip. You need a flash player to see them (Sorry for those who don't have it).
