Chasing Water

The combination of drought and water not being released by water agencies, has migratory birds chasing water.

They found it at the the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge near Los Banos yesterday, and Mark Harding found them.

Since this article was first posted, Harding reports that the Sacramento and Colusa NWRs are again wet, and snow and Ross’ geese, heron, wigeon, pintail and mallard ducks are in residence.

Late autumn color is dressing oak, cottonwood and willow. It’s peak in California’s Central Valley.
