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. http://genebirds.blogspot.com/ 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. http://www.metroparks.net/ Gene Stauffer Grove City ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
