my wife lauri and I took a stroll through Poland forest in Mahoning county. We were not too diligent,mostly just enjoying the beautiful day and masses of Virginia bluebells, trillium, and marsh marigolds to name a few. We did see hairy and downy woodpeckers, hermit thrush, e. towhee,yelllow rumped warbler,(I had hoped for more but that's all the warblers we saw) rs and rt hawks, wood and mallard ducks. But the main reason I'm posting is to announce the arrival of our feeder rose-breasted grosbeak. Last year he arrived on the 30th and in 2005 May 1st. Of course I can't be sure this is the same bird but I choose to think it is or a descendent. Fantastic to think this bird would leave the tropics and have my home as his destination.
