Brief_description
The site is a small borrow pit in a rural landscape adjacent to a gravel road. The routine and unusually high abundance of Red-billed Teal, possibly related to the abundance of grain in the surrounding area (both in harvested fields and at the nearby grain storage facility), or due to the proximity of a meandering stream and associated wetlands.
