What a difference a day makes.
This is before the estuary drained

This is the next day. There is so little water all the birds are in one place. I think, but I could be wrong, that this was a natural breakthrough caused by full moon, rain and a high tide.

BajaJudy,
This happens perodically at the La Poza lagoon in Todos Santos. On at least one occasion a man was drowned this year when it broke !
