[cobirds] Riverside Cemetery, etc., Lamar (Prowers) on 8/24

It was hot and quiet today migrantwise in Lamar but at the two Lamar cemeteries, we did have the following:

Riverside Cemetery (Maple Street, north end of town east of Main):
*Great Crested Flycatcher (photographed with a green praying mantis in its beak!)
Least Flycatcher (1)
Yellow Warbler (1)
Red-headed Woodpecker (2 imm)

Fairmount Cemetery (southeast part of town):
Olive-sided Flycatcher (1)
Western Wood-Pewee (at least 4)
Yellow Warbler (1)

The many Mississippi Kites over town appear mostly to be scoring darner dragonflies, both high and low.

On the rural roads, still plenty of Lark Buntings, Loggerhead Shrikes, Brewer's Sparrows, and have seen a few families of Orchard Orioles.
