Hi All,
In addition to some of the events that have already been mentioned here,
there are numerous other upcoming programs and activities around Ohio.
These will be especially appealing to anyone who might have cabin fever and
is looking for affordable opportunities to get out and learn about birds in
the coming weeks and months. I’ve listed a few of them below.
Good birding!
