All dikes and trails have been mowed except for Hardy Slough south dike.
Corn has been planted in Wood Tract south. Wood Tract north has lots a weeds
and some water. Very difficult to observe Wood Tract north from the road due to
very high weeds and young trees along the dike.
Shorebird Unit has lots a water and lots of tall weeds.
I walked the Hardy South dike and over to the Shorebird Unit. Next out to Pond
Creek Marsh. Lots of water at PCM and American Lotus.
Deer flies were a problem at PCM.

=========================================================================
I stopped by the Ohio River slough (along KY268) and had 2 shorebirds that I
think were Pectoral Sandpipers; I’m waiting on confirmation before I put it on
eBird.
=========================================================================
Finally out to Horseshoe Road slough.
Still one big slough with lots of water, very little shorebird habitat.
