I ask your for your understanding for a posting that is not specific to identifying a location of birds.  However, I had to respond to the posting about Blendon Woods Metropark not being a birding friendly park.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  I have personally spent thousands of hours over many years enjoying birding experiences at Blendon Woods.  Naturalists Bruce Simpson and Sarah Dalton are friendly and helpful.  Bruce has collaborated with me to introduce birding to Scout and school groups.  I have witnessed Bruce going out of his way to assist novice to expert birders find that elusive life or year list bird.  The rangers are more than helpful in assisting visitors in need.  I encourage anyone who has not had the experience of visiting Blendon Woods to take advantage of this excellent birding location.  I apologize again for my non-birding specific post.  I thought it was important to inform our community of the quality of this resource and helpfulness of Blendon Woods Naturalist Sarah Dalton and Bruce Simpson.  

Respectfully submitted,
Rick Oxley
