I am still appalled at how wildlife has become political.  The spotted owl, 
the desert tortoise and now the non-native, spotted rainbow minnow are all 
listed as endangered species!  It is not difficult to find a spotted owl at 
night but researchers look for them during the day.  The desert tortoise 
lives underground and researchers look for them during the wrong time of the 
year and in the wrong places.  You will not find a desert tortoise in the 
middle of a dried lake bed in the middle of Summer.  They use the tortoise 
for political purposes to shut down vast areas of land. The federal 
government tried to relocated 1,200 to build a Chinese sponsored solar plant 
just to have them euphonized.  They even tried to claim they were wiped out 
of an area they never existed in the first place.   I  found a dead tortoise 
with a transmitter glued to its back.  The brass transmitter snagged on a 
mesquite bush and that is where the tortoise met its slow and painful 
demise.

As far as the spotted rainbow minnow goes, we will let California politics 
handle this one!  It sounds like somebody is trying to gain control of water 
rights.  The interesting thing is that the aquifers are recovering nicely in 
LA and other counties since agricultural demand has rapidly decreased.
