Chandel's Travels: Part One


ur west correspondent and chief photographer recently spent a day at Border Field State Park and sent along some incredible pictures of the beach and its amazing waterfowl. Border Field contains beach and coastal habitat and is located  on the Mexico-Untied States border within the city limits of Imperial Beach in San Diego county.  The park marks the southwesternmost point of the contiguous United States and is also the southernmost point in the state of California.

New Arrival


 
handel reports that some new residents have moved into San Diego’s Lindo Lake. By far the most interesting addition is a Chinese Goose, a breed  of domesticated goose descended from the wild swan goose.  The poor abandoned waif is adjusting well and appears to be making friends with the other white geese, who have also been discarded by despicable humans.  Chandel has named her Cleo and we wish her well in her new home.

2014 Family Reunion


he relatives flocked in from neighboring ponds but this this year’s festivities weren’t anywhere near as entertaining as those of years past.   There were not as many participants, plus the gathering took place in the pasture instead of on the bank. ??? The wide open space cut down on the usual faux fighting and posturing that provides such stellar entertainment.  Most found a shady spot and simply took a rest.  Oh, well, all involved appeared to enjoy the day.
