Am intrepid group of about a dozen birders from around the state braved the elements from the cozy confines of the Schlabach residence to see the Towhee. At 11:30 we were rewarded with some great yet brief views of that celebrity bird. A lifer for some, Ohio bird for others and maybe just a year bird, but a nice one nonetheless . Many thanks to the Schlabach family for our intrusion. See you on the trails, Chris Pierce N.
