Hit Keller Rd. Walked it. Then had the Mississippi Kite back at the church.
Walked a little again - and had a kite hunting overhead! A few houses
down. Probably the same bird. Or not! They do nest here. I never had a Kite
perched, but that second look was better for me. To watch it for a couple minutes
hunting! 

This was very late morning time frame. 

What a treat to have Kites nesting in Ohio! I would think that nesting will
be over soon, so those wanting to see should head up soon. 

I had this planned to take a couple friends, but other commitments came up
for them. I decided to go anyway! Glad I did! 

This isn't part of my SW Ohio big year unfortunately. I keep looking up
for one here. 

I hit Caeser Creek on my way home. Hoping for terns... nuttin.
But the beautiful meadow at the marina quickly drew my attention. First 
time this year over 10 butterfly species. I think. I lose track... I only had
maybe 30 minutes. I need to get back there. Those Azures are Summer now.
Date thing. 

Good birding all. Friday will be somewhere back here for the big year.
Least Bittern is getting worrisome.
