Karen Ward, who has produced a photo book of Ada (available at Gallery for the Arts), sent the Ada Icon this photo last week.
She writes, “Came across this crowing rooster in the 500 block of South Johnson today at 6:30 a.m. Guess he made it through the winter. He does like his picture taken.”
The Icon has been reporting on Richard the Rooster since last summer when he first appeared among the houses along Johnson.

ADA - Host Ada scored five runs in the sixth inning to break a tie and win 10-5 over visiting McComb in a non-conference softball contest on a warm Tuesday evening.
The Lady Bulldogs improved to 14-8 with the comeback win. The contest was added to the schedule as a tune-up for the sectional final Thursday.
"We played better defensively as the game went on," said Ada head coach Troy Erickson. "Maddie Gossard pitched a solid game. Sidney Gossard had a big game hitting, and Maddie got some big hits, too."
