Salton Sea Birders


Did you go to the Salton Sea last weekend to look for the Ross's Gull? No? Why not? Do you have any idea how otherworldly the Salton Sea looks? That's what I kept thinking -- it looks unworldly, or otherworldly, misty and mysterious. Keep looking long enough and you're bound to see hobbits bobbing along in wine barrels.

Of course it's completely of this world, it is, in fact, what this world is. It's our landscaped lawns and oversized dinosaur sculptures on mini golf courses that are truly otherworldly.

Don't tell anyone that I stared at duck decoys for half an hour, wondering why all the ducks were sleeping at the same time.
