Lots of water from recent rains and a lot of debris to clean up

Yesterday, I first went to Chandler Park in Georgetown hoping to see some Mississippi Kites but no luck. I did see a female Summer Tananger but the photos were nothing to write home about. The park is on the north fork of the San Gabriel River. Here are some videos of its flow and a still photo showing that the river had been much higher.

Then I went to Lakewood Park. It has a flood retention pond. In the past several months, they have kept it low. There is a big controvery over it. But when I went yesterday, it was back to what I would call "normal". But there was obviously a lot of debris. The water must have been five to ten feet higher than normal.

I also got a good photo of a Scissor-tail Flycatcher and a Eastern Phoebe.
