Rain! But, then everybody knows it is and has been raining. Even if I hate
birding by car, I had to get out anyway.
Shorebird Unit was flooded but I found 2 Black-necked Stilts there.
Wood Tract north is flooded but I got a Black Tern there and hundreds of Tree
Swallows.
Hit the Sloughs twice, including Muddy Slough, Wood Tract north, Shorebird Unit
and Crenshaw Tract. Attempted to drive out to Horseshoe Road but a tree was
across KY136 out near there. KY1574, Tram Road, West Franklin Road, McDonald
Landing Road.
