Visited the Boardwalk at Hoover this morning. Saw a number of adult blue herons and several egrets. A lady reported seeing Little Blue and the Phalarope to the S. W. of the boardwalk yesterday. Water levels still seem to be falling. The 2.5 inches of rain received at Galena and adjacent counties did not raise the Walnut creeks and only dampened the mud flats for a day or so.
