I was wanting to go there after the rains, we use to go in and catch frogs all the time, even a baby duck once! But man, I just got caught up in moving. Nice photos. No ducks?

Very cool. How about the skunks? Use to be a real problem around there.

I've noticed while driving by there that the ducks have been looking strangely big there lately... And the recent drop in skunk population... :D

Naw, only foxes I've seen in Torrance have been at TOA, and even then it's almost been 4 years since the last time I've seen one.

I can only guess that it's due to the marsh being so dry for so long. Lack of water and food might have driven them away.

I hear theres still a family of two or three still out there, but I haven't seen them. A lot of them were poisoned & helo pilots use to try and hit them with their skids. Other than that I don't know.
