You're really zooming along, Larry! Looks like Joplin was particularly productive.
Unfortunately, we're still cursed with southerly winds here and songbird migration this year has produced worse birding than in almnost any past year. I'm heading to the coast again this weekend in hopes of seeing some shorebirds and - fingers crossed - some more warblers.

I didn't go birding today, but I did see a new bird for the year in my yard. It was singing high in a spruce tree and it took me quite a while to spot it, but I eventually got good a look at it.
188. Cape May Warbler

As birding trips go todays was pretty awful, for me at least... Dipped the Woodchat Shrike near St. Just, Cornwall and then missed the Red-rumped Swallow at Marazion, just couldn't get on the blighter that my mate found. Gutted as it would have been a UK lifer! Did get a few year ticks though.
175. Reed Warbler
176. Sedge Warbler
177. Ringed Plover (How has it taken this long!?)

On our way to Elkhart, Indiana we stopped in at Dunn Ranch Nature Conservancy Area at Eagleville, Missouri.
199. Bobolink
Other notable birds in the area were: Red-headed Woodpecker, Loggerhead Shrike, Upland Sandpiper and Eastern Kingbird.
Then stopped in at Neil Smith National Wildlife Refuge near Des Moines, Iowa. I got a couple of new year birds but unfortunately I could not add them to my Missouri Year List. Tennessee Warbler and Blue-headed Vireo.

193. Chestnut-sided Warbler

Two new year birds today, including a West Virginia state lifer (sandpiper).
194. Least Sandpiper
195. Nashville Warbler
The sandpiper was unexpectedly at a tiny watering hole in a cow pasture. Here, beause it's mountainous and the lakes tend to be deep without any muddy shores, there is very little shorebird habitat and any shorebirds that do show up can be found at any body of water with the least bit of a muddy shoreline.
