Searching last evening, we did not find the YHBB, but did find a
possible roosting area at a private residence on Haughn Rd. if you
follow it to the north from the sighting area. There is a house with a
patch of cattails in the front yard where a significant number of
blackbirds were coming in from some very large trees in a small woodlot.
Unfortunately, it was getting a bit dark to pick through them. 

Like I said, this is a private residence and we did not contact the
owner. I am unsure of the address. We pulled into the adjacent driveway
of a house that is for sale. 

Good luck,
Lindsay Deering

Subject: Re: [Ohio-birds] YHBB Grove City-No

My wife and I also took a drive down to the Grove City area this morning
looking for the Yellow-headed Blackbird, but no large black bird flocks
were found. anywhere near the the landfill. Even the landfill (viewed
from Zuber Rd. across the interstate) had only a small flock of what
looked like all starlings.

There have been some *large* mixed species black bird flocks in this
area over the past few days -- perhaps they roost elsewhere and come
into the area around the SWACO landfill later in the afternoon? Or,
perhaps all this cold weather may have also pushed them farther south?

Good birding,
Paul Hurtado
