A few birds at Hornsby Bend, near Austin, TX

  1. Is it a breakwater the birds are sitting on? Seems too small to be. Your phone seems to have a better camera than my dedicated camera. Great photos. (Of course, I recognize it might have something to do with the operator.)

  2. The Hornsby Bend facility as I understand it is about making compost from Austin's sewage treatment sludge (they call it 'Dilllo Dirt' and apparently are pretty successful at marketing it). So this is some sort of impoundment pond, and I'm guessing that the birds are on a kind of divider to section off the pond rather than a breakwater. I guess I should have just said, 'I don't know'.
    The phone does have a pretty good camera. It's a 'smartphone', it takes its own pictures.
