Mary C. And I went searching. Life bird for her. No success at VOA in Butler
county. They have gotten quiet. It was nice walking trails at VOA - usually I 
Just road bird the place. Killer looks at Meadowlarks! And numbers of Martins
Around. Most I have seen in awhile in one spot. Maybe a post breeding staging
Area? 

Anyway, we decided to try the Kilby Rd. Gravel pits - Hamilton county next. 
My first time there. A beautiful preserved successional area - old gravel pits
I presume. It’s now a Hamilton county park. We even met a couple rangers who
Gave us advice for the area. But no Bells Vireo. At least I know this area now.
For next year. Bells is a Hamilton county bird for me. 

Prothonotary Warblers, Yellow Warbler, and Common Yellowthroats vocal today.
With Singing. Blue Grosbeak, willow flys - just call notes. 

Common Redshank in Michigan. Keep an eye out at shorebird spots when
That bird moves on! 

Good birding all.
