On Saturday I surveyed Loop Road and US41 for the NAMC. It was not tremendously birdy, in part because water levels are high, and a lot of the waders are more spread out. One pleasant surprise was that biting insects were not bad at all! Loop Road itself was in pretty good condition, except for one stretch of 1-2 mile length, south of the Nature Center and before the turn west, which had potholes from shoulder to shoulder.
A few migrants were about, highlighted by a FOTS Palm Warbler, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Summer Tanager, Eastern Kingbird, and Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
