I went up yesterday to Howard Marsh MetroPark in Lucas County to look for the continuing male Yellow-Headed Blackbird.  I found the bird after some looking.  It tends to be near the park entrance, associating with a good-sized flock of Red-Winged Blackbirds.   I eventually spotted it from my car feeding in the grass near the first pond, but it can take a while to locate considering the number of blackbirds and how they can be somewhat difficult to identify while their heads are down foraging in the grass.  It was worth the search!

I didn't spot the Snowy Owl that is another continuing bird there unfortunately.  There were a good variety of ducks, though shorebirds were limited to Lesser Yellowlegs and a flock of Pectoral Sandpipers.

Here's my ebird report-
