If any birders plan to chase this bird in the morning, I highly suggest
being on site at sunrise. Note: park at New Russia Township Park and Nature
Preserve off of Butternut Ridge Road in Oberlin, Lorain County. Then walk
up to the road, turn left and walk west, staying on the south side of the
road near the fence, then look north into the wetland in private property
in an agricultural field. Good luck.
