Finley NWR – 3 males singing in the recent regular location. This is about a 400-500 meters walk SE of the Prairie Overlook. At one point all three males were countersinging and all were visible. Sher Kahn Road, east of Creswell – 2 males countersinging. Take Camas Swale Road E of town and then Sher Kahn road to the N. Go about a kilometer and they were in the big field on the W side of the road, just N of the lone large tree in the middle of the field. Also had a Kite working the field plus, Vesper Sparrow, Meadowlark, and Kingbirds to round out a nice prairie assemblage.
