Nevada Short Stories & Pictures. Henderson Bird Preserve

We moved to Nevada about eight (8) months ago and have slowly been exploring our new home.
I have always thought of Las Vegas as just a dry piece of desert, but I was so wrong.
When you translate Las Vegas it means the Meadows and years ago this was a little valley oasis in the Mojave Desert. Although much has changed over years since people have started to call this home, if you look, you can still find pockets of amazing diversity.
I shot these pictures yesterday at the Henderson Bird Preserve.
This place (all of Vegas and everything around it, actually) is amazing. We saw so many species of birds yesterday many of which were new to my dad and I. I love being a tourist in my own town. I mean look at this place - it is stunning. There is even snow on the distant (they really aren't that far away) mountains...
