I finally made the drive to Holmes County to see the Harris' Sparrow. It took about two hours each way from north Columbus (via 161-62-39-406). Actually it took all day since I stopped to eat and do some shopping in Berlin. It was a nice trip. There was no one home at the Miller's when I arrived. I parked in their turn-around and soon found the flock of White-crowned Sparrows. It took a good half-hour to locate the Harris', though. I got a good look for a couple of minutes and then it disappeared. I relocated it after another half-hour or so and had another good look. It even sang a couple of notes for me from a tree branch. The Millers still weren't home after an hour and a half, so I left them a thank-you gift and note on their porch. While at the Millers (or on the way), I saw: Canada Goose Lesser Scaup (m-f) Canvasback (m-f) Great Blue Heron Accipiter (Cooper's?) Rapters (Red-tailed Hawk; Rough-legged Hawk?) Turkey Vulture American Kestral Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker American Crow Blue Jay Tufted Titmouse White-breasted Nuthatch Northern Mockingbird Eastern Bluebird Red-winged Blackbird European Starling House Sparrow Northern Cardinal House Finch (also Orange Variant) American Goldfinch White-crowned Sparrow HARRIS' SPARROW Song Sparrow I also saw 2 deer, another 2 deer, and then 12 deer. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos?
