Lima has the Bean as its mascot, so why not turn an ackward situation into a, well, a tourist attraction?
The buzzards are back in town. Lynn Nowak spotted them hanging out on Garmatter Street on March 10 and provided this photo. Since then lots of sighting have taken place.
We've observed these big, black guys in town every spring since 2001.Their appearance in town coincides with buzzards returning to Hinkley, Ohio, each March 15. Our hunch is that one of the flights to Hinkley in 2001 took a wrong turn ending here.
Here’s an unusual animal story with some photos from Don and Joyce Hostetler of rural Bluffton. The Hostetlers are visited by wild turkeys each spring.

According to Joyce: The turkeys were back along the Riley near our house earlier this week. They only stayed two days this year, roosting in trees at night. Last year they visited us for several weeks.
There were nine turkeys this year. It was interesting to see young deer interact with them.
The Icon received this request from a Main Street business owner. We've also stepped into this "scat" or whatever you'd like to call it.
Would you be able to put something on the Icon regarding people walking their dogs and not cleaning up their messes?
Especially along Main Street businesses! We have had several issues since last fall with a dog(s) pooping on the sidewalks.
Not to provide too much detail but mess appears to come from a large dog. Today there were about six or seven large logs right in front of the double doors to our building.
A group of Ohio Northern University students and their professor are researching the concert and how it impacted the Ada community, according to Harry Wilson of ONU's management and information systems.
This May 9th marks the 40th anniversary of the event at ONU’s newly-built King Horn center. This was during KISS’ Dressed to Kill tour and they were on the verge of becoming very famous.
"We have reason to believe that KISS played Rock & Roll All Nite for the first time ever live at the ONU concert," said Wilson.
There are crop circles (you won't find them in Bluffton), and ice circles (and now you will find them in Bluffton).
Look closely at this photo.
It shows ice circles on the Riley. Brennan Davies noticed them on the Riley near Kimmit's Hill. (That's the bluff along Riley Street near Garmatter Street, for anyone under 40.) He learned about the on the Weather Channel.
Here's a definition from the Internet:
An ice disc, ice circle, or ice pan is a natural phenomenon that occurs in slow moving water in cold climates.
