Holly cow .. if he traveled 10 miles from his winterin' grounds, imagine what he weighed before that :LMAO:
Hard to imagine an acorn diet only in Ohio, but then again it's where you're located at !! ;)

Ha !! Really though this was national forest bird. No cropland .I know acornss aren't the only item on the menu , but that's the fat maker here.And I don't think those birds do a lot traveling , their here year round.

I neglected to mention in the OP , this bird had gray non barred secondary feathers. ( In case you didn't notice I'm really happy with this bird)
