It's Like The Salton Sea, But No Water

I sat in the blazing sun all day.  I bathed in my own sweat.  My skin burned from the rays of the sun.  It reminded me of the oppressive heat at the Salton Sea.  I took no photos, so I will give you the closest thing to my day today.  Old Salton Sea crap that I guess I never posted on TPAD.

I dunno if you can tell, but these American White Pelicans are about 115 degrees F.

These shorebirds are also well over 100 degrees.  Much like my day today in Palmdale (AKA Heaven).  BTW, I only see three species in this shot.  You? 

It Gets Harder The Older You Get

I owe you four again.  Don't worry, TPAD will be good again during its last gasp for air over the next 3 weeks.

Anna's in Adam's Uncles Irises.  Say that shit 5 times fast.

This kinda looks like the ocean, except that those are all Wilson's Phalaropes.  Yep, it's just an ocean of human waste in Lancaster. (Actually there might be a single Red-necked, but who's to say...)

Elegant Tern, Bolsa Chica.  Surprisingly, this is the first TPAD ELTE.

Don't know.  I just needed a fourth.  Perhaps Cory will hook a brother up again?

Living In The Sewage Of My Past

I spent the day watching people work.  It wasn't very fun.  Now I'm in Hollywood.  I just had a beer or two with birthday boy ASearcy (an excellent ping-ponger) and am feeling my 6 day work week.  Hella cansado.  Since I wish I could stay at the Lancaster Sewage Ponds forever, here sre some more from yesterday.

Wilson's Phalarope.  There were hella.

Dragonfly.  is it a Meadowhawk?  I need a dragonfly book.
