| First Rose Breasted Grosbeak of the season! |
|
I was greeted this morning by a Rose Breasted Grosbeak perched on the edge of my platform feeder. He looked exhausted; I am glad I filled the feeder last night. Hope this mean the hummers will be arriving soon, I put the feeders up this morning.

| 1. I have the impression that those are a rare sighting in Ohio |
|
Somebody told me that. Can anyone corroborate? BTW, I saw one today in the park.

| 2. Not rare, but not that common, either. |

Best places to look are in the north. The first OBBA map shows a distribution for them, but take it with a grain of salt, as coverage in the SE corner of the state was basically non-existent. http://www.ohiobirds.org/obba2/pdfs/species/Rose-breastedGrosbeak.pdf |

| 3. Well, that's us, on the glaciated plateau 2 miles from the lake plain |
|
Thanks for the info. That was some technical reading, there. Of late, we have been delighted with this oriole that visits our hummingbird feeder.

| 4. Now that you have the link for the OBBA |

How about signing up for a block? It's super easy to do, and kind of addictive. :hi:
