I saw the Harris's Sparrow in Holmes Co. on 2-24. Thanks to a boy who came out with a spotting scope and showed us where it was hanging out that we got a few really good looks. Because there were many bluebird boxes in the area we saw about 15 blue birds staking them out. The boy directed us to 2 nearby screech owl boxes which we found but did not see the screech owls. Near Danville on RT 62 on our way to Holmes Co. we saw a flock of about 20 sandhill cranes grazing in a snow covered field. The Harris's Sparrow is near Berlin at 3395 TR 406. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
