During the Columbus Christmas Bird Count at Blendon Woods Metro Park, at the
nature center feeders there was an adult female DICKCISSEL. I was able to
get a few very crude photos with my Olympus Camedia C-740 Ultra Zoom, with
10X optical zoom. They are not good photos, but they are sufficient to
identify the bird. The can be seen here.

According to Peterjohn, these birds sometimes stay over winter, and
sometimes stay for only a few days, so it may be around for a while.



Blendon Woods MP is located in northeastern Franklin County. Directions are
on the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks website.
