The owl is visible from the intersection of Benton-Carroll Road and the first set of RR tracks south of State Route 2 - looking west. If you have an Ohio DeLorme, it's on page 21. Benton-Carroll Road can be found between State Route 19 and State Route 590. The railroad tracks are just south of Velliquette Road and Packer Creek. Paul and Lisa pulled their car off the road along the railroad tracks and are there right now looking at the bird. Please keep in mind that the Sherriff's Department has low tolerance for cars parked on or near the roads in Ottawa County, for good reasons. The ditches around here are wicked, and have been known to suck up everything from small cars to 15-passenger vans. Good Birding and Happy New Year! ~kim Kimberly Kaufman Executive Director Black Swamp Bird Observatory 13551 West State Route 2 Oak Harbor, Ohio 43449 419-898-4070 www.bsbobird.org www.ohioyoungbirders.org www.biggestweekinamericanbirding.com Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/BSBOBIRD Become a fan on Facebook: www.facebook.com/BSBOBIRD ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
