This afternoon we found one Eurasian wigeon along with about 60 American wigeon at Killbuck Marsh Wildlife Area in Wayne County. It was in the pond north of Clark Road and east of Valley Road--see map of the wildlife area at ** <http://tiny.cc/2ZvMv> http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/wild_resourcessubhomepage/WildlifeAreaMaps/NortheastOhioWildlifeAreaMaps/KillbuckMarshWildlifeArea/tabid/19773/Default.aspx More info on Killbuck is at the OOS website at http://www.ohiobirds.org/birdingsites/showsite.php?Site_ID=9 There wasn't a lot of waterfowl at Killbuck, though there were 10 tundra swans, a few dabblers, killdeer and gulls at the Shreve Fish Pond, across Hwy 226 from the Wright Marsh parking area, on Kister Road, just north of Willow Road. There were more waterfowl (and several bald eagles) at Funk Bottoms, http://www.ohiobirds.org/birdingsites/showsite.php?Site_ID=8, but the water there has receded some and many birds are a distance from the viewing platform and the roads of the area--scopes most helpful.
