Fall migration

by Allison Jones
The fall migration is underway. Keep a watch on the skies and roads.

Swans were seen passing overhead the last two weeks. A treat for those of us that rarely see them. A few often spend the winter on the river in Harriman State Park. If you like cross-country skiing one of their trails passes by a likely gathering spot.

Also elk and other deer are moving to lower elevations. Those of you traveling should watch for herds crossing the roads especially after dark. North of us in Island Park and south, between Blackfoot and Pocatello, are common zones of crossing.
