I have been on the road the past couple of days, and a
  thousand miles, roundabout Ohio. Reporting in this
  evening from Tiffin.

  Began this day at 4:00 am in Ironton, Lawrence Co.
   to end at sunset at Big Island W.A., Marion Co.
  Never had time to take in Big Island proper as the
  wetlands along Rt. 95 immediately east of Big Island
  took up my last hour of daylight. This is what I
  scoped out (and a scope is definitely in order) in
  that time.

  American Black Duck - 6
  Mallard - 265
