As if sent to make Bill Whan prophetic, an immature Little Blue Heron was found this morning in the Berlin Lake Wilderness Area in Portage County. To reach this poorly marked spot, take Rt. 225 north from Alliance. Between German Church Rd & Fewtown Rd, there is a small, unmarked parking area on the east side of 225. From the parking area a 2-track gravel road heads east running underneath a high tension power line the whole way (an osprey nest sits on one tower). You will pass a pond on your right and then come to a second pond that is full of dead trees that are home to red-headed woodpeckers. The Little Blue was in this second pond around noon today.
