The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced that State Route 103 (Main Street) between Cherry Street and Vine Street in the village of Bluffton, will close Tuesday, Oct. 27, for approximately one day for parapet wall demolition work.
We recently asked, "has Bluffton made a birder out of you?" Allen Beatty, the new accounting professor at Bluffton University, notes that it's a "Preexisting interest. Especially bluejays!"
Beatty sent us this photo of buzzards perched in a row on the peak of the Centennial Hall roof. He captured a "vivid blue sky with the buzzards sunning themselves.... Besides the majestic view of nature, I thought it was fitting for a fall/Halloween photo perspective."
