6:30AM to Noon
65º mostly cloudy, clearing and rising to 70º
My, my, how birding changes from week to week this time of year.
The last two weekends have been very good in western Henderson County.
This weekend: so, so.
Shorebird unit still has too much water.
Wood Tract is almost dried up except for near the Shorebird Unit.
268 slough is still full.
Horseshoe Road slough was inaccessible again. The Ohio has risen and
is flowing over 136 between Bakers Store Road and Horseshoe Road. The
water is flowing into the Horseshoe Road slough complex.
I attempted to visit Horseshoe Road slough via Bakers
Store Road. No shore birds were seen and Horseshoe Road slough as
lots of water.
Uniontown/Mt. Vernon Road was flooded so I could not visit Grassy
Pond/Powell's Lake Unit.
Gentle Pond and Pond Creek Marsh were visited.
