After observing the Little Blue and Tricolored Herons and the Snowy Egrets at the pond northeast of 2/269, I went to Willow Point at about 3:30. First, I drove up the gravel road that leads up to the bay. Before reaching the water, on the east side of this gravel road, there is a turnoff up a dike that leads to two impoundments. The southernmost of these ponds, the first one you see after climbing the dike, held two Common Moorhens. I then went to the Headquarters area and walked down the road behind the large garage towards the pump house. A path veers to the right (east) and leads to a dike running between two bodies of water. In addition to the birds reported by Craig Caldwell, I saw a Wilson's Snipe, a Wilson's Phalarope, and an immature Little Blue Heron. Viewing conditions are excellent here and the birds are fairly close. To reach Willow Point from the Rt 2/Rt 269 exchange, head south on Rt 269 and turn right at the stop sign on to Rt 6. After about a mile, Wahl Rd veers off to the right. Willow Point WA headquarters is about two and a half miles past that point. _http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Portals/9/pdf/pub234.pdf_ (http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Portals/9/pdf/pub234.pdf) Sheryl Young **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
