Well, the Sauerheber Unit is open again. BUT, all the gates are closed due to
the poor conditions of the roads. Charlie Plush says they have got to be
graveled and graded. Some that I walked on were extremely muddy, getting thick
mud all over my boots.
So the only real way to bird this property is by parking along KY268 and
walking in.
I parked along KY268 and walked the east dike of Wood Tract south past the
Shorebird Unit, then east on the gravel road to the south dike of Hardy Slough
where I walked the dike to check on the Hardy Slough Bald Eagle nest, back to
the gravel road, north along the road that parallels Hardy Slough to KY268 and
back to my Jeep. Next I attempted to get to Pond Creek Marsh, very muddy gravel
road, finally gave up after I could see the Anderson Pond Bald Eagle nest.
Finally walked from the Oil Well tanks to the Ohio River at Wood Tract north.
Highlights:
1 lone Snow Goose flushed from the south-west edge of Muddy Slough.
4 FOY Ruddy Ducks
1 Yellowlegs heard at Hardy Slough
