 CalEnergy Operations  is based in Calipatria, California. They owns 10 geothermal facilities in California’s Imperial Valley.

 

We stopped for a short visit at the 5 Palms Hot Spring.  It is a short distances from  the Dunes.
DesertDale took a  quick dip, as the water was cool.  Last year it was warm.  Plus we had birds last year.  Not many birds this year.

  

This is a Snowy Egret.  They dance in the shallows.  Many have long filmy feathers at  breeding time.  Legs are black are mostly black, with bright yellow feet.
