IMG_1731_Flooded Yolo Bypass at Dusk

The wetlands, wildlife area and rice farms are all flooded to ease the pressure on the rivers after a series of Pineapple Express (or atmospheric river) storms. The little black ducks (not visible in this picture, but all throughout the Bypass) and other waterfowl are very happy. The wading birds (egrets, mainly) have moved to newly flooded fields while the water is deep.
