 Hi all,
??? I returned from vacation this afternoon and headed straight for Holmes county. When I arrived, I was greeted by Mr. Yoder and a very cooperative Northern Wheatear. The bird was actively foraging and highly visible in the area to the west (right) of the house for most of the time I was there (6:15- 7:30 PM). Several times, it flew into the driveway (to grab a bug) less than 20 feet from where we were standing! Spectacular! Nice to get a life bird in Ohio again!

Anyway, some pictures are posted here:

Hopefully this bird stays around for a while longer- it certainly didn't seem bothered by our presence (I guess it may never have seen a human before) However, Mr Yoder did comment that this evening it was perching much higher and foraging in a much larger area than he had previously noticed.

Good luck,





Steve Landes
