Hi All, As I write this (8:20 AM Friday), a beautiful male Rose-breasted Grosbeak (though that's a redundant expression) is at our feeders here in Cleveland Heights. We're treating it as a good omen for the Kirtland Bird Club trip to lake Hope, leaving later today. Best wishes, Steve Cagan Cleveland Heights Cuyahoga County -------------------------------------------- Steve Cagan, photographer [log in to unmask] www.stevecagan.com www.pbase.com/stevecagan 216-932-2753 (USA) ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
