Piute Ponds
Piute Ponds are a group of ponds located about southeast of Rosamond, California in the Mojave Desert, on the southwestern edge of Edwards Air Force Base and on the southern margin of Rosamond Dry Lake Bed. They form part of the Harley Berhow Recreational Area and are home to over 200 species of migratory birds.
==Description==
The largest remaining freshwater wetlands in Los Angeles County,
the site is cited as an important bird area of California,〔 and a resting ground for over 200 species of migratory birds such as the Great heron, the Great horned owl, the Black-crowned night heron, and the Western snowy plover.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Piute Ponds Tour (photograph) )〕 The area covers an area of about 9,600 acres and contains a number of claypan ponds such as Big Piute, Little Piute, Teal Pond, Ducks Unlimited Pond and Amargosa Creek and several other smaller ponds, creeks, and low sand dunes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our History )〕 A dike created the ponds, and they are maintained by treated reclaimed water pumped from Lancaster’s sewage treatment plant, with channels augmenting the ponds into two principal sets of large ponds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Piute Pond Wetland Education Kits Available )〕
Some 170 acres of wetlands were added to the complex of marshes in the late 1980s or early 1990s.〔 Restricted hunting is permitted with a license in the fall, and the Piute Ponds Tour is conducted for tourists and bird enthusiasts.〔
