They were with a group of birders that found the bird that included Bob Kissell, Don Whitehead, Don Allen, and Pam ??. The bird is located in OWEN county, south west of Indianapolis. Initial directions from the field were that the bird was located on County Road 650 South, just east of Lick Creek. Off of Indiana 67 take county road 50 east (also called Pleasant Bethel) take this about 1/2 mile and turn LEFT onto WAGLER. Go on WAGNER for about 2 miles (possibly a little less), at the end of Wagler (it T's) turn RIGHT onto JACKSON. JACKSON ends (Ts) and turn LEFT. It is THIS road that is bird was located, about 1 mile from Jackson. It is in a field just beyond woods. The bird was on a fencepost in a field, BEFORE you get to the creek on the right side of the road.
