Great pictures, Diane. I've never been to the Salton Sea but you make it seem worth exploring.
One question.... when shooting those HUGE flocks of geese do you hide under a drop cloth for protection?

"I do remember a lot of the problems, along with the "New, Alamo and American Rivers".. used to be a joke that the American River was Mexico's thank
you to the Colorado River.. "
So funny, sad and correct!
Diane- if you're not careful, you're gonna become the official Nomad photographer. Nice work.

Diana,
Farmers misusing pesticides.. you must be kidding...
A hearty lot, but, trying to get them to do something on their property... oh, boy...
Had more than one gun pulled on me... "get off my land you Government dupe" sounds a bit like a few here... but, that's ok.. it makes it all go
around..
Was in El Centro at least once a month for a week at a time for my first 3-4 years 1973-1977, Used to work very closely with the Ag Commissioner at
that time Claude Finnell. Then they just worked me where needed... lived in Orange County and worked the Southern California Counties from San Barbara
down to the border.. then up to Fresno/Sacramento..
Funny just looked up the spelling of Claude Finnell's name and found an article from that period on exactly what was being attempted to control the
misuse by users through both by the Federal and the State Government, a permit system.
">> 30 years ago — Imperial Valley farmers say they “have a monster on their hands” and now they’re trying to figure out what to do with the
“beast,”
The new pesticide regulations which go into affect Jan. 1, have been tentatively approved and await the signature of California Resources Director
Huey Johnson. But according to Imperial County Agricultural Commissioner Claude Finnell, “There’s no reason to believe he won’t sign them.”
The regulations mean each farm operator is totally responsible for obtaining permits for each restricted chemical used on each crop."
There were a lot of folks to tried to help with a very difficult situation at the time.. sounds like you husband was one of them.. IID is a tough one
too.. your dealing with the life blood of the area...

If they had come right overhead, I would have been in or under the car faster than you can say BIRDS.
Even if I had a wide angle lens, it is so difficult to capture the real picture of thousands of birds, but they sure are fun to watch!
