Overcast, warm and humid

Very un-birdy. Like the doldrums of summer after migration is over.

I covered Gentle Pond Area, Shorebird Unit and Wood Tract south.

No luck looking from an avocet.

Shorebirds seem to have disappeared.
Any migrating warblers seem to have disappeared.



It is like the migration is happening in the corridor through central KY and
missing my area of the state.



I drove out to Horseshoe Road slough. The field next to the slough has been
tilled and then add 2 inches of rain Saturday it was definitely not something I
wanted walk on. And from the road I could see nothing to entice me into the
mud: no shorebirds seen.
