52º, dissipating fog, clear, rising to 63º
Not a great count of birds.
Highlights:
Occupied Bald Eagle nest
Great Blue Heron nests
E. Phoebe gathering nesting material
Trail conditions:
I walked the entire loop beyond the boardwalk.
If you want to complete the loop beyond the boardwalk bring wading boots and be
prepared to go off trail to avoid still flooded areas.
If you don’t want to do the boot thing then take the east portion of the loop
and then backtrack.
The west portion is flooded in several areas including along, before, and after
the small bridge.
