My students located this specimen. It allowed them together pretty close without even looking perturbed. I have seen mallards and geese here before, but this is new to me!

janeogilvieDescription
Pine Grosbeaks normally live in the northern boreal forests, but food crops up north failed, and New England has been invaded by them this year. There have been lots of reports of them picking at fruit trees ...worth keeping an eye out for this infrequent visitor.

One of the stranger bird stories in Ohio's history. This out-of range sparrow has returned now and spent 4 straight winters at the feeders of this private residence. No one knows where it returns to in the warm months or why it comes back to Ohio.
