I wandered all over western Henderson Co. Water is still high everywhere but 268 (River) slough. Therefore no good shorebird habitat. Horseshoe Rd is extremely muddy in spots...I put the Jeep in 4-wheel drive. All dikes at the Sloughs WMA are now covered in weeds waist high. So I stayed off them...just too wet and difficult to walk. Looks like good shorebird habitat disappearing next to US41 at Ellis Park. But I didn't stop on my way to Evansville. I didn't hear any Periodical Cicadas today, I guess their time is over for the year. I did see 11 deer and 4 raccoons No real highlights.
