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 Mallard Ducks feed on the bottom growing moss and algae and any crumbs a visitor might toss through the chain link fence.
