Ducks in the Desert?

I’ve been having such fun going to a tank in the Preserve every morning to document what might be visiting. (For those who might not know, a tank is a man made reservoir created in ranching days for watering livestock). We had a good bit of rain in early October which almost filled the tank. Even small bodies of water will entice migrating water birds to stop and I have documented a few species so far. Mallard Ducks, Green-winged Teal Ducks, Least Sandpiper and Killdeer.
