Since I am dorsum inwards Columbia, Missouri, for a week, I decided to view Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area, hoping that the floodwaters had receded; alas, a sign on the entry route indicated a route closure ahead and, since I was driving our VW Beetle, I was forced to plough to a greater extent than or less inside a few hundred yards. A bald eagle, a few crows too a yoke dozen horned larks were all that I encountered.
Returning to Route K, I decided to endeavor the Buck too Katy Lakes component of Eagle Bluffs, simply southward of McBaine. There I was greeted yesteryear a lonely scissor-tailed flycatcher on the ability trouble too was pleased to honour that the graveled roads were passable. Killdeer, bang-up egrets too red-winged blackbirds dominated the scene, joined yesteryear a few turkey vultures, bang-up bluish herons, tree swallows too spotted sandpipers. Within a half-hour, I was dorsum on the road.
No doubt, the severe flooding along the Missouri River volition travel tedious to resolve, peculiarly since heavy rains convey fallen across its upper watershed inwards the yesteryear few days. We could purpose some of that pelting hither inwards Central Missouri too await thunderstorms this afternoon.
