Hi Everyone, Just got a phone call from one the OBBA2 point counters. David Rankin just got done watching a territorial BELL'S VIREO in eastern Allen County just west of Ada. The bird was singing consistently for about 45 minutes from a willow tree in the riparian corridor along Hog Creek off of Pevee Road. Take Hwy 81 west out of Ada, cross the Allen/Hardin county line and turn north on Pevee Road. There are two riparian areas from Hog Creek that cross Pevee Rd but it appears that the vireo was hanging out in the area closer to Hwy 81. Paste the coordinates below into Google Maps for a good bird's eye view of the area. 40.78477 -83.90860 Good birding! -- Aaron Boone Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II School of Environment & Natural Resources The Ohio State University 210 Kottman Hall 2021 Coffey Road Columbus, OH 43210-1085 614.247.6458 (office) www.ohiobirds.org/obba2/ ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
