Wildhorse Pond

Wildhorse Pond
Well, that's what we're calling it, anyway, because some mustangs were hanging around. Apparently, however, it's officially unnamed.
Anyway, this is another small closed basin in the Virginia Range, Nevada, that is holding an extraordinary amount of water this year due to the heavy rain and snow last season. It was completely dry in June 2009 (left inset) and May 2012 (middle inset), but contained a little water in February 2011 (right inset).

Very true! The abundance of surface water this year will let the herds spread out quite a bit. They had all had to concentrate around the remaining sources of water the last few years. The stallions will also try to monopolize water holes, such that the stallion of another herd has to challenge the one already in possession just to get a drink!
