Unbelievable rain for the birding tour to Bahia Grande this morning.
Unbelieveable
low total of 21 species.
Had to turn around at the second bridge due to washout up in coastal
prairie filled with water again.
6 intrepid birders braved the unbelievable rain with us. Only highlights
were the incredible numbers of peeps in a feeding frenzy on the mudflats.
The low light level and driving rain made it impossible to get any detail.
