Greetings birders - 
 
The following information was posted on rarebird.org. The Ohio birding public may find this opportunity very educational and interesting! A great service by one of our premier state birding organizations. 
 
 
"Heading out to look at spring migrants, but feeling a little rusty on identifying warblers, thrushes, flycatchers, etc.?  Know someone who's getting started in birding and who wants help in finding birds?  As a public service, BSBO will be offering free guided bird walks, several times per day, every day from now until May 25, in the vicinity of Magee Marsh and Ottawa NWR. The first guided bird walk of the day will begin at the West entrance to the Magee Marsh boardwalk at 8:00 AM.  These walks are FREE, and will last approximately 90 minutes. A daily schedule of BSBO's guided walks will be posted at the Observatory. Stop in and check the daily walk schedule, bird sightings board, and the bird feeders and water feature.  Special beginning birder walks will be offered as well. Participants will learn binocular basics, how to spot birds, how to select and use a field guide, and much more.  
 
In addition to these, half-day trips will be offered from 8:00 to Noon on Mondays and Fridays for the first 14 registrants each day. Transportation will be provided on board the famous BSBO Bird Bus! These trips will be open to BSBO members only.  To register for a specific date, call the Observatory at 419 898 4070."
 
 
 
Best of birding to you-
