Hi, I wanted to add a little information to the closures that Chris notes below about Funk Bottoms (Wayne County). Yes, Route 95 and Funk Roads (north of Rt. 95), as well as the road to the observation tower continue to be inundated. Nevertheless, one can still view a lot of waterfowl at Funk. Today the western side of Wilderness Road (access from Funk Road--Route 3 crosses to the west side of the Bottoms from Elyria Road) gave us the best views of swans, gulls and ducks by the many hundreds--though spread out. Any of the closed roads may give views of lots of waterfowl, depending upon conditions--you can make 3-point (or 4 or 5!) turns to retrace your steps. At Killbuck Marsh again, you can swerve around the "road closed" signs and look from places like Cemetery Road, without concern about traffic! You'll likely be in good company--there have been numerous other birders in these areas when I've been there! You cannot criss-cross the marsh on the various roads, until the waters recede, as Chris cautions.
