Natural disaster declaration in Nevada
Clark County is in a severe drought. National Weather Service meteorologist Reid Walcott has been tracking weather conditions here in Nevada for over a year. He says it’s been 40 days since it last rained in the valley — the longest December-to-January dry spell in nearly 40 years. Probably a good time to invest in a good quality Water Purification System

How To Desalinate Water
Why use distillation for water? Radiation, lead, salt, heavy metals, and many other contaminants could taint your water supply after a disaster. If you try to simply filter them out, you will ruin your expensive water filter

Brown Pelicans spotted in Pahrump
In Mountain Falls, there were two Brown Pelicans that flew over our home @ 6:41a.m. this morning while I was doing Tai Chi. I drove over to the restaurant /clubhouse pond to see if they landed there. No success at finding them. I walked around two other ponds and did not find them there. Golfers this morning told me they saw two on the 14th fairway. I will go out just before sundown to where the most sightings are coming from to see if I can get a picture of them. They have also been seen by Rick Davidsaver between the 4th and 5th box up on Homestead and Gamebird near the end of Mountain Falls golf course. I saw lots of Brown Pelicans in California this summer. Their main diet in California is anchovies. Lots of fish available in the ponds in Mountain Falls.
Mountain Falls is in Pahrump (Nye County) Nevada off 160.

Birding January, 1st, 2012
Happy New Year's Everyone. It was a fantastic day to be out birding. Today was a very fast birding trip as I had only a few hours and I realized it was going to be a very birdy day. I had already planned out ahead the night before where I would go and what I hoped to see. I reviewed my birding books and made sure all my equipment was ready to go.
At first light I was at the Mountain Falls pond to check out the ducks and other birds. My scope allowed me to see all the birds hidden in the vegetation along the side of the pond.Everytime I turned around there were different kinds of birds to study. I then visited the two different fields and one park area in Mountain Falls. From Mountain Falls, I traveled to where the Burrowing Owl's live and then on to the Master Gardener's building on Calvada and then to Willow Creek. A Coyote was rustled up while I was walking around Willow Creek near the sanitation water plant. He was trying to catch Rock Pigeon's. As he ran away from me, I waited for him to turn around and look back at me. I got some nice pictures of him. He is a well fed Coyote. Right after this I came upon a Greater Roadrunner eating the remains of a Western Meadowlark. While he was doing this the other Meadowlarks were quietly moving through the vegetation on the ground eating.
Later a Cooper's Hawk landed in a Willow tree giving me a chance to take pictures of him. When the Merlin landed in the branch on the other side, the Merlin, bounced off the branch making a shrill sound and flew up and chased the Cooper's Hawk away. It was such a contrast in size to see a Merlin sitting next to a Cooper's Hawk. I stopped by to see Richard and Carol, to visit with them and to discuss sparrow's and Burrowing Owls. Lot's of different kinds of sparrows are showing up in their yard.
I am birding in different areas of Pahrump but I always find more birds at Willow Creek.There were 53 species of birds seen from 6:28a.m. until 10:40 a.m. today January 1, 2012
