I don't know about unrelenting publicity, but Bill is at least correct on
one count.  Spring migration does not take place in one spot, which is why
the "Biggest Week" festival is designed (in part) to help introduce birders
to some of the other fine birding areas along the Lake Shore. The festival
features field trips spanning from Oak Openings to Old Woman's Creek (and
many points in between), and trips to Point Pelee and Kelleys Island.

I haven't had the opportunity to bird too many other places in Ohio during
spring migration--since it's the busiest time of the year at the bird
observatory--but I know that there are many migration hotspots in our fine
State.  No matter where you decide to go birding, this spring or any time of
the year, I hope you'll consider inviting a new birder to go along with you!

Mindy--
        Just you wait. The publicity will be unrelenting. And don't forget
that
spring migration doesn't take place in just one spot!
