With open water presently rather limited at northern Ohio, a check of Castalia pond on a regular basis could prove rewarding, i. e. Eurasian wigeon there Feb. 27. I spoke with ice fishermen at Clear Fork reservoir recently who told me the ice there is 14 inches thick. Hopefully the reservoir will thaw out before water bird migration is over. Good birding, John Herman ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
