After rain and bad weather, came 70 degrees, fine cloudless  skies and 
strong winds out of the south. All combined for evidently great  traveling 
conditions and that is exactly what I found. Not one Golden-Plover,  not one 
Upland, not one Pectoral Sandpiper, all the fields swept clean of Wind  Birds.  
One sure thing, more will fill the void and soon.
 
A few Pipits, along with many pairs of courting Horned Larks  and thousands 
of Robins were in the fields but the most amazing void was  the complete 
lack of GULLS at the Tunica Landfill, NOT ONE.
 
The Red-necked Grebe still lounges around Robco Lake with  scattered 
Ring-billed Gulls, swallows, DC Cormorants, Pied-billed  Grebes and ducks. The 
Mississippi River should finally turn around and head  down a little this 
weekend after steadily rising 36 feet in 30  days.

What is this feathered thing  that  lifts my heart to the  heavens.
