Just imagine the thought process of the average water bird when confronted with the reality that the water in the lake is going away at astounding speed!
For us as humans it is an inconvenience at this point. To sit and watch the ripples and rapids is no longer entertaining since the water is so low at this point.
For the birds it means that a source of food as well as a place to swim or fly to has been removed.
Today we watched a couple offing legged water dwellers as they made do with what they have. A duck bravely swims at the base of a boat slip. One has to wonder if he is stubbing his webs on the bottom. The Lake continues to recede. We are told that it is 13 feet shallower than it was about a year ago.
Nothing should ever be taken for granted!
