We often equate the deserts with the wilderness. Some of the words associated with the desert are arid, desolate, barren, waste, badland, lonely, dreary, and other negative terms. My experience with the desert is entirely the opposite of all those terms. I think of beauty, solitude, majestic, open, inviting, lovely, special, home, and all of the other positive terms we associate with the outdoors and other beautiful places. The West Desert of Utah is one of those special places that provide all of the positive associations. The birds are American avocets or Recurvirostra Americana.
