Greetings Folk:
Though not directly bird-related I am curious as to whether any of you
remember how flooded the site was in May of 2015? I know that my
neighborhood (near Maxey Park) was in pretty bad shape but, having
missed the event myself - I was at a TOS meeting at the time - don't
really know what it was like for other folk.

For decades, it seems, they have been trying to deny Tech Terrace Park's true
identity as a playa lake.
I guess that's why you have to have flood insurance if you live close by. It
was explained to me once that Tech Terrace Park is actually the overflow for
Maxey Park (if it should ever rain that hard). I have seen Tech Terrace park
flooded up to and into the street.
Curious to see who's there tomorrow.

That kinda boggles my mind! Thought the big drain they installed would have
kept that park from flooding. Wow. Thanks! -Holly

Is/was there standing water in Tech Terrace Park?! (I used to live on 24th
and Flint, right across the street from that park.)
Neat that you found four teals there!

I went back to Tech Terrace Park with better binoculars and light. Earlier I
reported 4 Blue-Winged Teals. Actually, one of them was (or is: they're
still there), a male Green-Winged Teal. The other three are Blue-Winged,
male, male, female.
