| no partners | | This is a fun place to ride a mountain bike in the late afternoon, up to just after sunset, or early in the morning. Lots of wildlife. The Pintail Slough - North Dike area of Topock Marsh has a maze of roads on the dikes or levees. (Drove my Chevy to the levee...rode my bike to the dike...hmmm, doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?)
The photos were not taken all on the same evening but on two different evenings in February. It's just easier to put them all in one triplog.
Anyway, it's best that you look on Google Earth before going to ride there because you can sort of get lost. I printed out a satellite photo and it was very helpful.
There are often a lot of snow geese feeding in the shallow water, which is kept at a certain depth by the Fish and Wildlife Service to provide food for them. I often see some big coyotes and of course there are a lot of other birds, such as marsh (Harrier) hawks, egrets, herons, various ducks, coots, grebes, etc. |
