Phoenix Sewer Flats 10/23/1971 "Saturday A Mild Day" I'm not sure whether this place exists anymore. Once we went there and there were many many many dead ducks. Botulism? Was this the time Dad pointed out my first water pipit?It was on a fence, which is rather unusual for them. I have a picture of me holding a dead coot and I have my original Birds of North America book in my back pocket. It's title is Tom with Coot Phoenix Sewer Flats 1971 Botulism.jpg

The same day:
