Hit the 200 number! 25 away from my goal. Still a chance, but it will be tough.
A lot will depend on shorebirds in the fall and how the late fall southbound
Migration goes. White pelican? Cackling goose? Ross's? Etc.

I was out today. Enjoying shorebirds at the Armleder bean field. It was good!
But nothing new….. this spot is a spring spot. Hopefully lost bridge - the great Miami River -
Comes through in the fall!

Armleder did not have many migrant passerines this morning. And other spots down
Here did. I will never figure this out!! I chased Wilson’s warbler - missed. And chestnut sided,
Success! At Burnett woods. A little oasis in downtown Cin. Had a YB fly as a bonus! Not
Bad for mid day. I figure Burnett is the only green for miles around. Birds notice that!

Birds probably missed for the year - Alder, Connecticut, worm eating. Golden winged…..
I am out of time also. I will be away soon. Have to get ready for that!

Weather notes - what is with this wind…… almost 30 mph gusts……

Good birding all.
