(WKBN) – Bird watchers listen up! The Ohio Division of Wildlife alerted this week that a rare bird was spotted in Ohio.

A lazuli bunting was spotted in Meigs County, according to \ a post on the agency’s Facebook page. It said “This is very likely the first documented report of this species touching down in the Buckeye State.”

The bird is native to the western U.S.

ODW said that birds sometimes stray from their typical range due to weather patterns, disorientation during migration or changes in habitat.

Bird watching in the winter comes with some special perks. While the Valley is home to a collection of parks and nature preserves that make for good bird watching year-round, there are some species of birds that can only be found in Ohio during the winter.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources recommends bird enthusiasts head out now and look for interesting and uncommon birds that make their way to Ohio or are more easily spotted in the winter.
