There is a Great Horned Owl nesting in a former eagle's nest on the west
side of Erie County (between Castalia and Bay View).  A scope is best for
viewing, but the outline of the adult's head (showing the "horn" feather
tufts)  is easily seen with binoculars.  Hopefully, the young will soon be
visible.

The nest can be viewed looking south from the parking lot of the  tavern at
the corner of Rt 6 and Rt 269.  I would provide you with the  address but
the google map does not seem to give the proper  directions.  To reach this
spot, exit Rt 2 at the Bay View exit, just  before crossing Sandusky Bay.
Head south, and following Rt 269  South.  You will turn right at the "T"
intersection.   The tavern/drive through is on the corner at  the next left.  It
is hard to miss - it has a fiberglass  Bison on the roof.
