A solitary gull has no trouble keeping his feet dry Monday as he looks over Berwick Bay. Recent forecasts said high water in the Red and Ouachita rivers would work its way into the lower Atchafalaya, ending a prolonged period of low water. But early Thursday afternoon, the river at Morgan City was at 2.08 feet, or nearly 4 feet below the nominal flood stage. The forecast into early next week is for nothing higher than 2.5 feet.
