Hi All,

  I'm very new to birding, I'm normally butterflyer, but while doing a NABA survey last summer in fields near the North Chagrin Nature Preserve I spotted one of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen.  I've never been able to id it and no one I've described it to can come up with anything.  Today I was looking through a warbler book when I came across the bird.  The only problem is it's a Painted Redstart.  I watched this bird for 15 minutes and it's an exact match but since Ohio isn't anywhere near the area this bird is from what else could it possibly be? Any suggestions?

  Thanks, Lin Cepek
