Unsuccessful, but I will be trying this summer! I was at Miami Whitewater - main 
Checking ponds and ditches. Then Shaker Trace Wetlands. I was studying the 
Radar and thought not too much rain in that area this afternoon. I actually
Got that right! Another thought was Ellis - the swamp, but the rain was hitting
East. Anyway, still very birdy! Hooded Warbler, Summer Tanagers, etc. but no
Limpkin. They have to be around here……

I have been asked a few times what my big misses are so far in Butler. Since
I keep saying I am missing so much! Well, migrant warblers. Hopefully a better
Fall migration down here. RB Grosbeak. Breeders like Blue winged and Pine
Warbler. Thankfully I got most of the common shorebirds. Hopefully I can
Track down a Bairds this fall somewhere. Ellis wetlands is no more. 
Sandhill Crane, Bonapartes Gull, Vesper Sparrow. Etc. etc. I was on vacation
When the Whistling Ducks and Avocets showed up. Of course!

I need other species, but haven’t tried yet. Sedge Wren - Andrew is looking
For me with that too! Now that Ellis is gone…. Lincoln’s Sparrow. Etc.

I am forgetting what winter birds I need. Pine Siskin would be nice. 

200 is still possible. We will see! I am learning the county which was the goal.
Plus getting it over 200 life. Thanks to all the Butler regulars giving me advice!

Good birding all.
