Some great shots Joel, I think I might venture out next time as well seeing the wide range of things to shoot.
Not a birder but I am sure I could keep busy out there.

Great Post!

Thanks very much, Aaron. It really is a very interesting area to explore.

Haven't had a chance to process anything yet, but I 'm hoping to post by tomorrow, although, this is a tough act to follow.

Thanks, Russ. You're too kind.

What attracts so many Pelicans and Geese to the area?

Thanks, Skippy. I like that one too. Here's the very next shot from that sequence.


These are BIG birds. However, they're tiny next to the Pelicans which are freaking enormous.

The Salton Sea is a migratory destination for these birds when the rest of the continent is just too cold.
