Birding at Elizabeth Lake the other day and was wondering how is Elizabeth Lake going to look when the water does go down and all of the floating islands are left along the north and and in front of the turtle nesting grounds? This is a picture of the dipping dock.

Yes, that sure is different. I wonder, if the depth at the north end is less than the south, then those floating reeds will bottom out for sure and maybe even dry out and the vegetation will die. We shall see.

So what has changed?

What has changed is that due to the high water the areas of bullrush and reeds have lifted off of the bottom and floated with the prevailing wind direction. So now the reed beds have moved from the south end to the north, completely refiguring the lake.

Thanks, Greg. This makes for a huge project of reclamation. I'm guessing the birds are adapting. Comments are closed.
