An aerial close view shows dozens of waterbirds gathered at the edge of a shallow desert river. The larger birds match the appearance of Australian pelicans Pelecanus conspicillatus, resting after feeding in the productive channel. Green shrubs cling to the adjacent dune, demonstrating how ephemeral water brings rapid growth to otherwise harsh country.
