Apparently, Mono Lake is one of the oldest lakes in North America and thought to be about one million years old.
Freshwater, minerals and salts arrive in the lake via a long journey down streams that course the slopes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Once it all gets here, it has nowhere else to go. In this closed system, freshwater springs bubble up from the base of the lake. As that freshwater evaporates, a residue of calcium carbonate and other minerals/salts are left behind, forming columns and knobbly formations all around the lake. (Once upon a time, all these formations were under water.) The water left behind in the lake is very alkaline and 2.5 times as salty as the water in the sea, which is why the seabirds bob along at such a jaunty angle with their tails high up.
The flotation possibilities here are many and varied - if you are a bird that is!

A female Pileated Woodpecker on a drumming tree at Haines Junction, Yukon. 20 February 2016.
It's a mystery as to what route this bird would have taken to get to southwest Yukon. An incredibly rare occurrence.

City-building is no longer the exclusive purview of professional planners and architects: urban entrepreneurs are now as invested in the physical space and neighborhoods that surround their businesses, as they are in their company’s bottom line. How is entrepreneurial energy transforming our urban commercial districts and neighborhoods?
