Surrounded by arid desert lands, the marshes of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in northern Utah are an oasis for water birds. The refuge's marshes are the largest freshwater component of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem and provide a habitat for more than 200 bird species -- from avocets and black-necked stilts to white-faced ibis and a host of other species.
