While in Ohio for the Midwest Birding Symposium Christopher , Susan , and I made our way to Metzger Marsh one day to see if there were any good birds out by the lake. I was more concerned that it was gonna be some actor I’d never heard of in a movie that would go straight to DVD and would be a black eye for birding.
