Weird weather: 66º, overcast, very windy, rising to 68º.
Rain is on the way. Flood watch tonight, Friday, part of Saturday. The Ohio
River is on the rise again with “minor” flooding again starting on the 27th,
extending into April. Will probably flood HRS, Sand Slough, and River Slough.
Highlight:
a surprise Tundra Swan still hanging around.
The Bald Eagles sure like the dead and dying carp at River Slough. Mostly
immatures (the eagles not carp).
