Blendon Woods Metro Park is located in the northeast corner of
Columbus off of I 270 & Rte 161. Take the Little Turtle Way exit. We had a
Connecticut Warbler on the Lake Trail. You take the trail toward the Lake.
When you are almost to the Lake there is a chain(on the left) between two
fence posts. Then when you walk farther, there is a wooden horse barrier.
Betwen these two areas there was a Connecticut Warbler. Below is a list of
some of the birds seen today . For more info & photos go to our Facebook
