Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Adams Lake State Park
38.81 N 83.53 W
Adams County is at the edge of the Appalachian mountain range. Chuck-will's-widow, Wild
Turkey, Blue Grosbeak and other species are often easier to find here than anywhere else
in Ohio.
Crane Creek / Magee Marsh / Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge
41.37 N 83.09 W
Spring migration here may be even better than Point Pelee -- and two hours closer if you
live in Ohio! Go visit the Oak Openings and Irwin Prairie on the west side of Toledo as
well.
Green Lawn Cemetery and
Arboretum
39.94 N 83.04 W
This is a great spot during spring migration. Birder's are always welcome. You
should see almost 50 species of warblers, thrushes and vireos in early May.
Headlands Beach State Park
41.73 N 81.33 N
There are a whole series of birding spots along Lake Erie, just east of Cleveland. Spring
migration is very good here, as is the hawkwatching. Continue over to Mentor Marsh State
Nature Preserve and finally, the power plant in Eastlake.
Killdeer Plains
40.65 N 83.31 N
In winter, look for hawks and owls. Check the tall evergreens very carefully for
Long-eared Owls. At dusk you should see Short-eared Owls skimming over the fields.
Depending on water levels, shorebirds and waterfowl can be abundant, especially in
migration.
Pete Thayer's Former Back Yard
39.09 N 84.22 W
You don't have to be Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ to realize that there is no place like
home. Birders are always happy discovering and exploring the birding spots close to home.
Thanks to the foresight and conservation efforts of others, I can visit great birding
locations close to my home like the Cincinnati Nature Center and the Oxbow. What have you
done lately for the next generation of birders in your home town?
