On the way back from Utah we found a nice camp spot at one of the river access sites to the Salmon River, up the side road to the Middle Fork take-out. After we finished dinner and settled in the camping chairs beer in hand Wildlife viewing program was on for evening entertainment. It started with a gaggle of nearly 20 mergansers. Never seen so many of these birds in one spot! The mergansers scurried away when a beaver surfaced splashing its tail. Meanwhile a little downstream a deer stepped into view. Its two fawns did some crazy jumps to get rid of annoying bugs. The program was completed by the appearance of two elk cows just upstream contently grazing and lifting heads occasionally to check their environs.
