Description:

Yesterdays find, not unusual in this desert city. This pond as well as others

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.
I have attached suggestions of all the species I can make out in the photos.
