I had this afternoon free. Was going to hit Butler county but the ducks were

Monday. I love rarities - time to catch up with fellow birders! Learned that

Carrie and Bill R. Showed us the location. And how to bird it. Difficult with the 
Leaves out! 

1 Stilt sandpiper
1 Dunlin
6 pecs
2 Solitary
5 greater Yellowlegs
30 lesser
2 Killdeer

Good flooded fields will dry up soon. Tylerville Rd. field in Butler was almost dry
For example. On the plus side of no rain - Ellis wetlands still has a lot of water to

Fos barn swallow today. Spring valley. Fos pine and Black and white warbler at
Shawnee Forest yesterday. I need all this stuff in butler! The next three days
Will see me in butler. Probably just 1/2 day each day though. Lots to do around
