Pink Bird Sanctuary

at the Andree Clark Bird Refuge

A Pink Lake

I flew by the Andree Clark Bird Refuge in Santa Barbara this past week and it looked a little different than it normally does. It is pink!! I did a little research and it looks like low water levels and heat can cause a red algae bloom to happen. It looks like a great place to explore next time I'm up in Santa Barbara!!
