I thought I had seen one down by Twin Creek this morning but didn't get a good enough look for a positive id (especially considering I had never seen one) and figured it was an early indigo bunting. Late this afternoon one showed up in my backyard! Then a coopers hawk made a surprise attack which scattered all the birds and it never returned. I got one decent shot of it before the coopers hawk interrupted my fun . http://www.jandbk.org/gallery_birds/images/blue_grosbeak1.jpg Also had a beautiful male Baltimore oriole and male yellow-rumped warbler. An exciting, and colorful day! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
