Hi all,
Just wanted to clarify about that Bell's Vireo (I'm the one that found it). Hog creek does cross Pevee rd, and there's a bridge where i had figured I'd find some interesting birds, but it was actually about .1 miles closer to 81, like Aaron said, where a small stream runs under the road, that the vireo was singing, on the right side of the road, if your coming from 81, right where the coordinates show (I could see the bird when i took those coordinates).
I'll be going out to try to find if the bird has a mate tomorrow or monday, so if anyone wants to see the bird, let me know.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] BELL'S VIREO in Allen County
Hi Everyone,
Just got a phone call from one the OBBA2 point counters. David Rankin just
got done watching a territorial BELL'S VIREO in eastern Allen County just
west of Ada.
The bird was singing consistently for about 45 minutes from a willow tree in
the riparian corridor along Hog Creek off of Pevee Road. Take Hwy 81 west
out of Ada, cross the Allen/Hardin county line and turn north on Pevee
Road. There are two riparian areas from Hog Creek that cross Pevee Rd but
it appears that the vireo was hanging out in the area closer to Hwy 81.
Paste the coordinates below into Google Maps for a good bird's eye view of
the area.
40.78477 -83.90860
Good birding!
