I started to put this in my http://xraycrystallographer.blogspot.com/
blog and realized that it has nothing to do with gardening, so I decided that it fit here! I have been quite remiss in non-garden posts, so this is hopefully a new start.

After seeing (and hearing) hundreds of Sandhill Cranes fly
over the house earlier in the week we decided to take a quick trip to Goose
Pond to see if we could see them or the pelicans. What I didn't check on was how much rain we
had on Thursday/Friday (actually we only had 1.5", but I found out later
that Linton had over 3"). When we
got there the only roads that were passable were the state highway and one
county road that went away from the marsh!
After slip-sliding on the gravel (mostly mud) roads, we decided it was
not worth getting stuck and headed back for Bloomington.
There are actually a few birds in the photo above, but the
only large groups we saw were Coots. It was a pleasant drive in any case!
