NWR Ravenswood Trail

On Saturday D. and I visited the Ravenswood Trail at the National Wildlife Refuge, and I took some pics.

The trail runs along a salt evaporation pond, which is bright red due to halophilic bacteria living in the water.



Mesembryanthemum in bloom.



A little sandpiper trots along the crust of salt at the edge of the pond.



The trail.



White pelicans wheel over Ravenswood Slough.



A dead crab on the levee.



Power lines stride along the landscape, like an electric forest.





A little glob of algae, surrounded by bubbles, floats on the water.



Maintenance boardwalks lead to the power lines.





A wing, probably from a gull.



Looking toward the Dumbarton Bridge.



Unappetizing-looking scum builds up at the edges of some ponds.



Looking straight up from the bottom of the one the power line towers.
