La Ciénega de Santa Clara, one of the largest and most significant wetlands in the entire Colorado River Basin. It would be no exaggeration to say it is one of the most important desert wetlands in all of North America.
Its 40,000 acres (16,000 hectares) of marshes and mudflats support 280 species of birds, including the elusive and endangered Yuma clapper rail. Some 300,000 migratory birds spend their winters here.
It is a magnificent, almost magical marshland – and it was created completely by accident.
