While atlassing in eastern Clinton County today, Larry Gara and I ran across a pair (male and female) of Blue Grosbeaks. The birds were on a wire overlooking a cornfield at the corner of Bernard Road and New Antioch Road (Old DeLorme, p 76, B3). The massive beak and cinnamon wing bars were clearly seen on the male, but the birds flew before we could make detailed observations.
