Update on Salamanca Drought

1 and 1/2 inches of rain last night refilled some of the pond in New York near the Seneca Indian reservation. The first picture shows the puddle from which I had netted fish to transfer them to the larger pond back in September.It has refilled somewhat but now is lifeless as the closeup shows. The pond and it's feeder stream were rejunvenated overnight and dozens of fish rushed back to the pond when they saw me approach.I can only hope one of them was one of the sunfish I had released there a month ago. So...the drought took its toll and now nature renews herself and Creation goes on.
