April 5

San Angelo SP  for an overnight; county wide burn ban in effect, extreme drought conditions. Lake O.C. Fisher dry with 0.8 full.
Surprising pockets of water in Bald Eagle Creek, wonder if they are spring fed or if North Concho River still flows underground surfacing occasionally.
Still abundant bird-life, most surprising White-throated Sparrow.  Wild Turkey Toms were strutting their stuff down by the turn around, while the Hens  grazing among the campsites. Need to get together soon. A dozen American Wigeon spooked off one of the deep pools of clear water.

We didn't stay around for the Wiener Dog Races beginning at 10 AM.
