This morning (Mon), Shari Jackson & Winnie Sarno joined Tim & I to go to Holmes Co. to find the Harris' Sparrow. Upon arriving at the house (3395 TR 406, for those who may have missed the original post), we encountered a birdless yard. We watched for just a few minutes & then as I was headed up to the house to make sure we were at the right place, a young lady came out to say it was in the tree. Sure enough, while I wasn't looking, a flock of white-crowns had flown into the tree with the feeders. There, in all his glory, was a beautiful adult Harris'. This was a life bird for Tim & I & we all got great looks at it. After a few minutes, the flock flew to the bushes along the creek edge on the east side of the house. We tried to relocate the bird but could only see the white-crowns. When we left, we headed north on TR 401 and encountered 4 Black Vultures & a Killdeer. We ended the morning's adventures with a delicious lunch at Winesburg.
