Field Notes

Description:

Yesterdays find, not unusual in this desert city. This pond as well as others
had been drain, to my mind 2 years ago. The birds are found through the city. This one is just opposite a golf course and a park; hidden away and fenced in.

Notes:

Thankyou. What interests me the most is the small lake. The area has many the migrating birds are found. It was some years ago Huel Howser had a show on them.
