After observing the Little Blue and Tricolored Herons and the Snowy Egrets
at the pond northeast of 2/269, I went to Willow Point at about 3:30.
First, I drove up the gravel road that leads up to the bay. Before reaching
the water, on the east side of this gravel road, there is a turnoff up a
dike that leads to two impoundments. The southernmost of these ponds, the first
one you see after climbing the dike, held two Common Moorhens.
I then went to the Headquarters area and walked down the road behind the
large garage towards the pump house. A path veers to the right (east) and leads
to a dike running between two bodies of water. In addition to the birds
reported by Craig Caldwell, I saw a Wilson's Snipe, a Wilson's Phalarope, and
an immature Little Blue Heron. Viewing conditions are excellent here and the
birds are fairly close.
To reach Willow Point from the Rt 2/Rt 269 exchange, head south on Rt 269
and turn right at the stop sign on to Rt 6. After about a mile, Wahl Rd veers
off to the right. Willow Point WA headquarters is about two and a half miles
past that point. _http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Portals/9/pdf/pub234.pdf_
