Directions:  From the Cleveland area, take I-71 south to US 30.  Take US 30 west until it starts to swing around Upper Sandusky, then take OH 182 into town.  As you're leaving downtown on the west side, go south on OH 67.  From OH 67 you can go straight south into Killdeer Plains on (in order of encounter) CH 115, TH 108, or TH 103, or enter the western edge on CH 75.

 

Winter highlights:  Northern harriers and rough-legged hawks are common, working the fields.  Short-eared owls are regular across CH 115 from the HQ and behind the Sportsman's Service Center on CH 75.  Red-headed woodpeckers are regular at the large pond on CH 75 between TH 103 and TH 123.  One or more of long-eared, barred, and northern saw-whet owls are often in the pine grove behind a private inholding on CH 71 a bit east of TH 103; park in the small lot just to the west of the private land and walk south.  When searching for the owls, go slow and quiet, and back off from their roosting trees if you happen to be close when you spot them.
