Harper Dry Lake Marsh, located at the edge of one of the largest dry lakebeds in the Mojave Desert, is an important resting site for thousands of migrating birds. This Watchable Wildlife viewing area is also an Area of Critical Environmental Concern.
The marsh at Harper Dry Lake is not the size it was a century ago. Nonetheless, this small desert oasis consistently attracts resident wetland birds, migratory waterfowl, shorebirds, and many birds of prey.

Judith, you got some great images here. I especially like the bright blue car through the hole in the wall! I also especially like the runoff textures and the rusty cans.
