While this species does have habitat preferences,  this time of year they
can wander widely and turn up just about anywhere!

Even the best habitat in Ohio for the species isn't guaranteed to make a
wandering vagrant stick around. That said, it took me three attempts before
successfully chasing my life bird outside West Lafayette, IN last summer
(in an area of mixed open agricultural habitat and woodlots).

A risky species to chase,  but every once and a while they DO stick around!
