Yolo Bypass manager David Feliz (cq) , with the state Department of Fish and Game sits on on his airboat at the Yolo Bypass on Tuesday, February 2, 2010.
The Yolo Bypass is flooded for the first time since 2006 due to high water in the Sacramento River following recent storms. As a result, it's become a vast wetland filled with new-hatched insect blooms feedings schools of native salmon and splittail fish -- and even more waterfowl. The transformation highlights an ongoing debate over a possible broader role for the bypass in restoring the Delta.

From base to the highest blade, the tallest wind turbines in the Montezuma Hills in the Delta are almost twice the height of the Statue of Liberty. Many farmers say they had reservations about the changes the turbines bring to their business and their landscape, but financial security from "wind money" is a powerful incentive.
