Once again this area missed all the rain. Our one wetland is now completely dry. The creek is still flowing but just a trickle with most of the wide creek bed dry, or with isolated small pools. Ponds are down several feet making fish and amphibians vulnerable prey for wading birds. Corn has shriveled leaves, especially on hilltops. Pastures not recovering from grazing.
