When we're home in South Dakota, we're used to seeing rivers, creeks, lakes, ponds, etc. Here in the southwest, the waterways consist of the Colorado River and a gazillion canals that draw from it. Vegetable fields and citrus groves are flooded on a regular basis, courtesy of the myriad canals. When this happens, the egrets appear by the dozens; they seem to smell the life-giving water. If the Colorado ever dries up, this will REALLY be a desert!
