Leak, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, January 27, 2010

The birds here at the Bosque National Wildlife Refuge live in a closely monitored and managed environment. The staff is constantly moving water around and a day or so ago they started a big pump to send water down through this meadow and into the shallow ponds where so many water birds roost and get their pictures taken. A bit is leaking out of the meadow through this old valve into the acequia (canal) in the foreground. I'm not sure where the acequia goes but I'm guessing it ends up in those same ponds. Now I'm curious - I'll have to check it out next time I walk down to the ponds.
