I have to agree with Brainard about the water.
I was at the Sloughs WMA this morning.
Pond Creek Marsh water is like Spring levels.
Shorebird Unit (95% high weeds) is flooded like early Spring.
Muddy Slough is flooded.

Only shorebird I saw was a single Solitary Sandpiper.

But include me in any trip to Union Co. this Friday.
