Pintail Filled To the Brim

The Wizard behind the screen at Santa Ana diverted water into Pintail Lake and filled it to the brim, covering the mudflats and shallows. I do not understand the dynamics of water management decisions. All I know is that except for some Black-necked Stilts and a handful of White Ibis, virtually all the waterfowl and shorebirds are gone. Moved on. Vacated the premises.

Oh yeah, the Wizard is filling the glassland on the south side of the walkway levee and there were a number of Wilson's Snipes. They are damned hard to get a photo of. My shots sucked, but Lorna got a couple of decent ones so not all was lost.



Me? I took a picture of an Altimira Oriole and declared it Good Enough. - Gunnar
