The Lake Erie shoreline in northwestern Ohio is known as one of the best birding areas in North America. Birders from all over the continent make a spring pilgrimage to the region in search of warblers and other migratory songbirds. Join experienced birders Kyle Bagnall and Michelle Fournier on a trip to this special spot during spring migration. We’ll explore a variety of habitats over the course of three days, at sites such as Crane Creek State Park, Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve and Oak Openings Metropark. We’ll also stop at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center and the Sportsmen’s Migratory Bird Center. In past years we’ve seen up to 140 species, including White Pelicans, a Kirtland’s Warbler, Lark Sparrows, and Summer Tanagers.

We’ll travel to Ohio a Nature Center van. Lodging is included in the registration fee and will be in Port Clinton at the Country Inn & Suites. Amenities include a swimming pool, continental breakfast and complimentary high speed internet (the entire hotel is a non-smoking). Registration assumes double occupancy. If you are registering by yourself, please indicate your need for a roommate and one will be assigned to you. Participants should bring two sack lunches (coolers will be available) and plan on eating other meals out (breakfast is provided by the hotel).
