This morning, Steve Miller and i found a male Blue Grosbeak along the
Tecumseh Bike Trail east of Greenville.  The bike trail goes behind the
Person Center services building on the west side of Jaysville St. Johns
Road north of 571.  There are 2 parking spaces in the parking lot south of
the building.  the bird was just beyond the not used this year softball
diamond in an area that is graveled with slobs of cement piled and a pile
of dirt or sand that has shrubs growing on it.  That is where we first
heard the Blue Grosbeak.

than an indigo bunting .  It was too dark to see the reddish patch on
