OYBC Joins Canton Audubon Society at Castalia Pond



To get directions please go to the Ohio Young Birders Club website at
www.ohioyoungbirders.org <http://www.ohioyoungbirders.org/> .

Time: 10:30 AM at Castalia Pond or
7:30 AM at Wildlife Garden, 4930 Portage, North Canton to carpool.

Sponsor: Canton Audubon Society

Castalia Pond is approximately 10 acres large and is a "blue hole", a spring
that stays open year-around attracting large concentrations of waterfowl
after the freeze-up of the Sandusky Bay.

Leaders: Members of the Canton Audubon Society

Target species: Waterfowl

Transportation: On your own

Please contact Laura at 330-875-3421 if you plan on carpooling.

Castalia is just 3 miles off SR-2 in Erie County. Traveling on SR-2, from
the east, take the SR-101 exit and drive south 3 miles into Castalia. This
brings you directly to the north side of the pond and also to one of the two
parking areas. From the west, on SR-2, take the SR-269 SOUTH exit (the first
one available once across the Sandusky Bay bridge), and head south (a right
onto SR-269). In 2 miles, take a right onto SR-6. In less than a mile turn
left at the sign for Castalia. This brings you into town and from this stop
light, a left turn will take you to the north side of the pond, or continue
straight through the light and make the first left (at the bank). This will
take you to a parking area on the south side of the pond.
Meet here at 10:30 AM.
