Yesterday, we went to the Riverlands to do some birding and found this new art installation by Alana Tibbits entitled Hybrid Sculptures. She is the artist in residence this year. We also found the Mississippi River in flood. All of the Tainter gates were open at Mel Price and the water had come up to the lip of the parking lot below the dam. We were not allowed to drive down to the Confluence at Ted Jones, because of flooding. We saw some birds and some birders too who we had met before. As per usual Merlin heard way more birds than we saw. All-in-all, it was a nice day.
