Hello Don,

Welcome to Ohio-birds!

Yours is a perennial complaint. We'll try to do better, but history teaches that we will soon fall back into our old habits of referring to places as if everyone knows them.

The places that are most frequently referred to without any discussion of their locations are the long-established birding destinations. If you go the the Ohio Ornithological Society website <www.ohiobirds.org> and pull down the "Birding Library" menu, you'll find a list of popular birding locales.

One of the simplest and most effective methods for getting more information about a place is to google it. When I was doing the Ohio Rare Bird Alert, I was able to answer almost all my questions that way.

Happy birding,
Paul
