Description

There is a small Trout fish hatchery just East of the town of Fillmore, Calif. Here fingerling Trout are raised into adult fish ready to stock nearby freshwater lakes. There are several long concrete channels to act like natural streams where the fish live and grow. Fish netting surrounds the entire area to keep out predators, and the overhead space is netted to keep out flying raptors.

Just beyond the outflow of water from the channels several species of wild birds gather waiting for their favorite food. The Snowy Egret is one who waits for escaping fish to emerge in the pool just outside the chain link fence; he sits on a branch, or stands motionless waiting for dinner to swim by.
