Kiser Lake is just north of Saint Paris, OH in Champaign County. It was a 
rainy overcast morning but Ben Eckstein and myself set out anyway and we 
weren't disappointed. We went to the fishing pier just off Kiser Lake Rd, 
parked, and got out. Shortly thereafter an adult Little Blue Heron flew to 
the southeast shoreline by the pier and perched on a log in the water. We 
observed it for several minutes and then it flew right in front of us to the 
shoreline on the other side of the pier for even closer looks for several 
minutes. Sadly I did not take my camera due to the wet weather. Still, it 
was a very cool sighting. Other sightings included:

Scarlet Tanager (my first, very cool)
