VOA in butler still has some grassland - prairie. Bobolinks breed there. 
A necessary species for my big year. Success! The males are still doing
They’re display flights. I also had a female. Was listening for Dickcissel. 
No. Looks like good habitat for them. I still need Bobolink for Hamilton
County. How come they don’t like Fernald?? I hope to track more down
In Butler as I explore more. Nighthawk in the Ellis area. 179 now. 

Butterfly notes - black swallowtails at voa. And a few monarchs. 

Next is probably exploring for missing breeders. Like that nemesis - the
L. Waterthrush. 

Good birding all.
