Baltimore Oriole, Magee Marsh

We drove out to Ohio for the tail end of The Biggest Week in American Birding, an annual event put on by the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, and stayed through the next week which must be the 2nd Biggest Week in American Birding. Ohio is the place to be for migration, as the birds stop over on the south shore of Lake Erie before making their way to the Canadian Woods.

Below are links to the posts covering our trip and species lists for Canada & Ohio. For the trip we had 155 species between us.
