5 Nov. 06
6:30AM 45º overcast light rain started at 8:30AM, I gave up at
10:30AM and returned home in the rain
The main area of the Sloughs WMA is now closed. Woods Tract is being
flooded but swaths of rows of corn remain. Across 268 from the Woods
Tract some of the beans have been harvested. Water levels all over
the western half of Henderson Co. remain high and occasionally over
the road.
I stopped at the observation towers at Hardy Slough and Anderson
Pond. Next onto 268 slough, then a stop at Horseshoe Road slough,
finally Grassy Pond/Powell's Lake Unit. The rain started while I was
leaving HRs. So the sightings at GP/PL were from my truck cab, or
standing next to it in the rain.
