You never know what bird will show up at your bird feeder. Too many varieties of sparrows to keep track of, cardinals, gold finches, mourning doves, and occasional cat bird...you know the usual visitors. Recently a different type of bird showed up at this feeder.
The only thing that's bird-like about this little guy is, perhaps, jail bird. A chipmonk recently joined the crowd of feathered friends at one of the Icon's Grov Street bird feeders. It appears that he's figured out how to bypass the squirrel-proof feeder.
Val Eikenbary and Brenda Reichenbach have great seats for Sunday's Mennonite Memorial Home's concert on the lawn. Findlay High School Pantasia band performed and the ice cream was free! Click for a video.
