Julie has seen or heard several on our farm here in southeast Ohio! On Monday morning, June 12, at about 5:50 am, eight miles north of Roseau, MN, I saw my jinx bird and officially broke the jinx. This sighting came at the end of five days at the Potholes & Prairie Birding Festival in Jamestown, North Dakota.
