While looking for butterflies and dragonflies along the Lower  
Wisconsin State Riverway this afternoon, my wife and I found a pair of  
BELL'S VIREOS just west of the town of Avoca, about 1/4 mile up the  
dirt road that runs north towards the river about 1/2 mile west of the  
intersection of Hwys 133 and 80.

Other highlights in the Avoca area included a chase involving three  
separate Yellow-billed Cuckoos, several Giant Swallowtail butterflies  
(and 12 other butterfly species) and lots of Common Baskettail  
dragonflies.

In the Blue River Unit of the LWSR just west of Muscoda, we saw LARK  
SPARROWS quite a ways in on the dirt road.
