I finally had a chance to stay overnight at Shawnee. And enjoy a few early
Mornings there! I was on the OOS trip there. Warblers and wildflowers. Wow!
I was there for dragonflies also. They finally cooperated Sat. and Sunday! I'll
Have to wait and see how my pics came out to Id some of the odes. We had
The expected breeders. Kentucky, hooded, worm eating. Etc. Migrants

Area. I am told migrants flying over the hills stop at the high elevations early.
To feed and rest. Of course I didn’t make dawn….. I did pick up a Magnolia.
I do better with migrants at Armleder, Gilmore, Valley View. The neotropical

Darrel finds Willets in Butler county. I was home maybe 30 minutes and
Out I go again. They were a county bird for me! With Ellis Wetlands gone,

Earlier. A flock of Least Sandpipers flew in as we watched.
I have to drive a friend to CVG early Monday. So I shall be up! Let’s see what
