After reading Ruth Richard's post yesterday, Jason Simonis and I decided 
to head up that way this morning. Some of the highlights were: 

S.E. corner of Young Rd. and Rt. 4 in Huron Co.    
     Northern Pintails
     13 Tundra Swans     
     4 Snow Geese       

N.W. corner of Bonham Rd. and Wales Corners Rd. N.W. of Bellvue in 
Sandusky Co.  
     Many Northern Pintails  
     American Widgeons 
     Ring-necked Ducks 
     101 Tundra Swans  

Riddle Rd. south of U.S. 20 north of railroad tracks (road south of there 
under water)  This is in the same general area as above.  
     25 Tundra Swans   
     Managed to find some  female Cowbirds and a couple of Rusty  
     Blackbirds in a large flock of Red-wings and Common Grackles  

Castalia Pond  
     The Brant was not seen.  There was a pair of Buffleheads oon the pond 

Resthaven Wildlife Area  
     Not much in the way of waterfowl  

N.W. corner of Heywood and Northwest Rd.  
     22 Tundra Swans flying overhead.   

Killdeer Plains Wildllife Area  
     Pond on T108--51 Tundra Swans,Northern Pintails and Widgeons  
     Ponds on T68--Many Pintails and American Widgeon  
     1 Snow Goose
     1 Short-earaed Owl flying n. of T68 and e. of those ponds (@ 3:15) 
     1 Red-headed Woodpecker on w.side of T123 in the tall dead trees.  
     4 Northern Harriers in different areas     

There could have been some Trumpeter Swan in with some of the Tundra's. 
We saw other misc. waterfowl.  We did not look for the Long-eared Owls.
