Hello, All.

Since the storm slowed, I took the opportunity to run
by Mead Gardens for the first time since my last post.
Finally had some free time.

Boardwalk is in pretty good shape. Yeilded many
Red-eyed Vireos and a few Redstarts and several
Red-bellied Woodpeckers.

The far side of the pond, on the creek side, is a
complete mess. Had to actually stop and orient myself
to where the path USED to be amongst all the downed
trees. If you don?t like the mud, don?t bother.

However, I did manage 2 new Life birds today. Verified
Yellow Warbler and FINALLY found the Louisiana
Waterthrush Alex has mentioned from time to time. That
had bothered me since I had never found it myself. I
believe you, now, Alex. :-)

I took many digitals to document the current state of
the area. I fear this storm might flood a large
portion of it this weekend.

Bird totals:

Yellow Warbler 1
Louisiana Watherthrush 1
N. Parula 3
Black and White Warbler 12+
Red-eyed Vireo 12+
Amer. Redstart 5
Blue Grey Gnatcatcher 2
Great Crested Flycatcher 1 (And possibly my best film
shot)
Barred Owl 1
Great Egret 2
Great Blue Heron 1
N. Cardinal 2


Stay safe, everyone.
