First visit to this site located off Tinker's Creek Road outside 
Independence, OH.  There is a 1.5 mile Butterfly Trail with numerous and 
diverse butterflies present.  I birded the trail.  Based on trail 
conditions, it's not heavily walked on the second half of the trail past 
singpost #5.  Most of the butterflies are present before signpost #4. Best 
birds seen were a Blackburnian Warbler and a Great Crested Flycatcher.
