A Harris's Sparrow showed up at an Amish home southeast of Apple Creek around 
noon today (Wed). I was there in the afternoon and took some photos. The bird 
was there the entire time except when a Sharp-shinned Hawk came in and perched 
above the feeders. The bird is with White-crowned Sparrows and spends time in 
some brambles and then comes out and feeds on the ground.
    The address is 9041 Bear Hollow Road, Apple Creek. This is a short, one-mile 
road. See DeLorme P 44 (2007 version). Take U.S. Rt. 250 southeast from Wooster 
to Apple Creek and on to Fountain Nook Road. Turn right (south) and Bear Hollow 
is the first road on the right. 9041 is located close to a large communication 
tower and the house is on the south side of the road.
    Birders are welcome but please remember they are Amish - photos of the birds 
are fine but not the people...The feeders are on the east side of the house and 
if you go to the front door, you probably can watch from inside. This is the 
Robert Troyer family and the young birder who found the bird is Andy. Another 
birder, Marty Troyer lives across the road.
