Northwest Ohio Spring Migration- Day 1
Overview: Day 1
Known as the “Warbler Capital of the World,” Magee Marsh Wildlife Area along the shores of Lake Erie—offers one of the most exciting spring bird migration experiences in North America.
With a mix of woodlots, marshes, and open fields, this region concentrates an incredible diversity of birds, including Neotropical migrants, raptors, shorebirds, and lingering waterfowl. Timed for peak migration, this trip offers the chance to observe up to 25 species of warblers, along with vireos, thrushes, and flycatchers—often at remarkably close range.
While both mornings begin at Magee Marsh, we will also explore Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area, Howard Marsh Metropark, Mallard Club Marsh Wildlife Area, Maumee Bay State Park, and, time permitting, Oak Openings Preserve Metropark—maximizing habitat diversity and birding opportunities throughout the region.
Attached is an advanced itinerary. This trip is limited to 8-10 participants to enhance our experience.
This trip includes two full days of guiding 5/22 & 5/23 so registrants will need to sign up for each day seperately.
This trip is a drive yourself and find own lodgings trip. There are many places to stay in nearby Port Clinton to the east and Toledo to the list. Our Guest Inn and Suites in Port Clinton is a place I have personally stayed many times. There are many food options and we will stop locally for lunches.
Waiver must be filled out before attending.
