Having ridden my bike to the backwater many times, of course I had always thought about kayaking here. It took me a while to get around to it. Yuma East Wetlands is part of the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area. I highly recommend watching the video here: https://www.yumaheritage.com/

I'm glad I picked a calm morning with some clouds. It made for some nice reflections.

I thought I might see some interesting birds. I saw the usual: herons, egrets, kingfisher (in photos) plus a lone bufflehead duck, a raven, seagulls, coots, doves and tree swallows. All these are common birds in the area.

The backwater is only about a mile long, but was worth a visit.
