In-Depth Information
This surreal moonscape is a wonderland for birds. Attracted by brine shrimp and alkali
flies, legions of gulls (California's largest nesting population), phalaropes, eared grebes,
snowy plovers, and other birds come to feast on the lake's tiny denizens. The salty water,
much denser than seawater, affords swimmers a delightful sensation of buoyancy.
Concluding the drive with a potpourri of eerie marvels, Mono Lake serves as an in-
triguing coda to the splendor and spectacle of California's Yosemite National Park.
