Hello Everybody: Just got back (Wednesday) from the Spotted Towhee capital of Ohio (at least for the moment)--Holland, Ohio. Wilbur Wenger, Robert Hershberger, Levi Hostetler and two of his sons, and I set out for Holland very early this Wednesday AM. We arrived on site at about 9:00 AM. We were not there more than 2 minutes when Levi shouted out "I got him". There that beautiful Western visitor was, feeding on the ground, with lots of ground-feeding friends. We were, needless to say, excited. We would like to thank the Dixons for their gracious hospitality. Happy Birding-- Don Plant, Perrysville, Ohio (Mohican Country) <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
