David,
I just remembered that Sandy Ridge has a motorized vehicle (like a 6 person
golf cart) that I have seen used to bring people back to the marsh for
birding. I saw it on my first visit there about 6 weeks ago and it looked
like a volunteer was driving a small group of elderly folks on a regular
birding trip. They stopped frequently for viewing and pictures as they made
their way around the marsh. I don't know if this was free or if there was a
charge. Perhaps you can call the park and see if it would be available to
you and your wife.

Dear List,
I am still recovering from a broken leg, but my wife and I want to get
out for some birding near Oberlin (20 mi sw of Cleveland airport).
I know about the boardwalk at Magee Marsh, but most places near here
have gravel or mud trails, which is too much for my wheelchair. In
particular, Sandy Ridge, our best closest bet, is too difficult.
Someone mentioned that Columbia Reservation Metropark has some asphalt
trails but I don't know if the birding is any good.
Thanks for any suggestions.
David Riggs
