I covered 268/River Slough, Gentle Pond, Pond Creek Marsh, Hardy Slough, Ohio
River access, Wood Tract north, and Shorebird Unit.


268/River slough had the scaup, both teal, mallard and shovelers.

The sandpipers and yellowlegs were everywhere: Hardy Slough - 2 different
impoundments, Wood Tract north, Shorebird Unit.

No real highlights except for the big numbers of shorebirds.

No FOS.


Pond Creek Marsh is again accessible. 268/River slough is falling.


Before hitting the Sauerheber Unit I attempted to do the Highland Creek Unit
but water was still too high.
