I just talked with Steve Landes and I know this area well as I was born/raised in Richwood, OH. It is near Richwood, to the East and a little bit S. Taway Rd runs E out of Richwood and the bird is on a 'sky pond?' located near the E end of Taway Rd where it intersects with Mooney Road. This is just one block W of the Scioto River, and barely into Delaware County. There is a huge reservoir being constructed in this area.

For some/most of you, the easiest way to find Taway Rd will be off SR 4 (which runs between Marion and Marysville). Taway Rd intersects with SR 4 about half-way in between this towns. Go E on Taway and you'll find Mooney Road 'intersection' shortly. The bird/water area is in the SW corner of that intersection. Steve will likely remain there until others arrive.

See you there later... If/when accepted, this will become only the 2nd State record for this species.

Great find, Steve!!! I'm sure that you already have some great photos, and many other birders are on their way and should be there soon!

Good luck to all!
