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.

Leaders of the newly-formed Ada Historical Society deemed the membership drive a success following a reception in the Railroad Depot and dinner at Viva Maria’s on Monday evening.
Those visiting the Depot saw a large collection of postcards gathered over the years by Lee Crouse (who happens to be one of the Ada Icon weekly columnists, as well). Lee’s postcards were displayed in large frames set on tripods.
