A recent news article with photos of a local park that doubles as a flood control basin.
Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach protects homes by collecting rain runoff
Polliwog Park did what it is designed to do during Thursday’s heavy rain, by collecting rain runoff, and providing food and a resting place for local and migratory water birds.
And some photos I took after storms in 2017 and 2019 (since I can’t exactly go out right now)
Most of the geese were toward the back of the park, not out front like they are sometimes.
Sometimes I’ll see a whole flock of coots at this pond, sometimes a handful. Today I only saw one.
This fox squirrel was hiding at the base of a bush in a city park. As I approached, it ran up a nearby tree and then paused a few feet up.

Call your doctor if you experience double wigeon.
There were SO MANY wigeons at the pond that day. A lot of the males were making this whistling sound like a squeaky toy and making a big display of flapping their wings. Duck waving, I suppose you could call it.
The males’ heads also had this green iridescence, but I couldn’t capture it.

I saw a few dozen wigeons swimming in the pond as well. Some of them were swimming in male/female pairings, while some of the males were making whistling/squeaky noises and displaying their wings.

I think this pair of mallards might be the only ones I saw in the pond. Mostly I saw coots, wigeons and gulls.
There were about a dozen seagulls swimming in the pond, and half as many walking around on the sidewalk.

Sometimes I see a *lot* of geese wandering around the park or swimming in the pond. Today I only saw three: these two across the pond in the tiny wildlife “sanctuary,” and another that was standing on the near side of the pond a few feet away from someone (else) who was taking pictures of it.
