Tule Springs



It wouldn't be a trip to Las Vegas without a walk at Tule Springs.  Despite the wind warning, it was a beautiful calm morning.  The variety and number of birds varies seasonally, but there's always the large resident community of geese, both domestic and Canadian. They get along great.


An amazing, miracle of a wetland habitat, smack in the desert. The old historical marker claims this is one of a few sites in the United States that suggests prehistoric human activity. A snarky Wiki page article says scientists have now debunked this claim. Who knows?  All sorts of animals have lived here for tens of thousands of years...


White bread isn't good for birds either, but they get a taste for it. This time we decided to try something "healthy," so I chopped up some cabbage and lettuce.  The reaction was like giving a 3-year old a big green salad for lunch. That's IT?

After biting me on the foot, these two sulked off with their noses in the air.
