Spring morning at desert oasis

A lively spring morning at a desert oasis in southern Nevada. Here artificial ponds create a vital habitat for resident and migrating birds and other wildlife. This is the headwaters of the Amargosa River, a unique river system that is mostly underground. It also lies at the ecotone between the Great Basin Desert and the Mojave Desert.
