We've been seeing them at several locations across Carroll County this year.  In terms of any historical trends in the county, that's hard to say as it has been one of the least birded counties in Ohio up to this year.  Hoping to change that...

Good luck on the search.  Maybe you'll discover previously unknown gems in Clermont.

Jay Lehman postulated that the decrease in the red and white oak acorn crop (26 and 23%, respectively) this year as compared to last year has caused this nomadic species to fly the proverbial coop in search of better prospects.
