Clayton was very responsive to my messages when I booked my afternoon safari tour of Antelope Island. I was worried that I would not get to see any bison but we saw about 300! Clayton is an experienced safari guide and we had a fantastic day for wildlife viewing. Thanks to Clayton’s great eyes, knowledge and notation, our sightings included an amazing variety of species:
American Avocet
American Kestrel
Burrowing Owl
California Gull
Canada Goose
European Starling
Ferruginous Hawk
Lesser Scaup
Mule Deer
Northern Harrier
Northern Pintail
Northern Shoveler
Pied-billed Grebe
Plains Bison
Pronghorn Antelope
Red-winged Blackbird
Ring-billed Gull
Western Meadowlark
Clayton also provided snacks such as granola and biscotti, as well as a selection of hot beverages so I enjoyed them and a cup of coffee with him at the Fielding Garr Ranch. It was an unexpected treat to see the ranch house which is the oldest Anglo building still standing on its original foundation in Utah. And at the ranch, we also heard either a Downy or Hairy Woodpecker.
It was a beautiful day and the views of the Great Salt Lake, mountains, and plant life were also incredible and we both took lots of photos. I would highly recommend using Clayton if you would like a Safari Tour of Antelope Island.
