The monthly Ottawa NWR auto tour is scheduled for next Saturday, June 20. I
am considering driving up in hopes of seeing one of my Ohio "nemesis birds",
Yellow-headed Blackbird.

When the birds are present at Ottawa I understand they are usually seen in
section "MS3" on the Ottawa map, a location only accessible to the general
public during the auto tours.

The blackbirds have been reported on just about every summer auto tour over
the past few years, including last month's.

I am interested to know if anyone knows if there are any Yellow-headed BBs
resident or breeding at Ottawa this summer, and if so, are they in an area
where they might possibly be visible from the auto tour route?

Thanks for any info!

Ken
