So, Just How Wet Is the Salado Creek Wetland Now?

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

The official January rainfall total for San Antonio was 3.99 inches with 0.74 inches of that Monday and yesterday. That is 2.23 inches above normal for the month. When I drove over the Salado Creek bridge on Nacogdoches Road this past Friday on my way to Comanche Lookout Park, I could see the ponding area under the bridge was quite full. That brought to mind the question: just how wet is the Salado Creek wetland with all the rain that has fallen?

Today's photos:

Where white-tailed deer peacefully grazed in November, ducks now feed in shallow streams and pools and dragonflies dance in the warmth of the afternoon sun. Needless to say, there will be several Tuesday / Thursday posts of photos from today's walk.
