NEWEST VIDEOS...
Lake Powell
The completion of the Glen Canyon Dam in 1963 created Lake Powell. It took another 14 years to fill the lake. With almost 2,000 miles of shoreline, and five marinas, Lake Powell has become a major attraction for millions of visitors from all over the world. Take a look at Lake Powell and enjoy this desert combination of red sandstone formations, water and clear blue skies.
The
Great White Egret
Part of the heron family, the egret has a length of about 32 inches, and a wingspan
of about 4 1/2 feet. When flying it will hold its neck in an "S"
curve. It has a long, thick yellow bill, and black legs and feet. A fearsome
predator, the egret will remain stationary for long periods of time while stalking
its prey.
