Well, not everyone would consider getting up at 5am to go sit in the muck beside a mudpuddle in the middle of a cornfield for a couple hours a relaxing way to spend a morning, but I have to say it was rather relaxing! With all the summer travel to relatives, dealing with tornado damage aftermath and blistering heat and humidity, I have not had much of a chance to get out and do a great deal of birding this summer. Yesterday morning I decided to drive out early to the Oatsville Bottoms of the Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge in Gibson County, Indiana to see what shorebirds were starting to come back through our area. While mostly Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Pectoral, Least and Semipalmated Sandpipers it was good just to get out and have a quiet morning watching these guys go about their business. Hopefully the weather will cool down a bit in the next few weeks and start to bring in greater numbers and variety.
Day 135 - Storm
I call this one After The Storm.
This is in the parking lot behind our building. As you can see, we have a rather large mud puddle. We had a lot of rain a couple days ago. Sunny skies today though!
I converted this to black and white because I thought the mud puddle just looked better in black and white. I also like the reflections I got in the puddle.
