Welcome to Ohio Birds!

The lack of details in locational
Hi Jean,

Welcome to Ohio Birds!

The lack of details in locational information is a perennial complaint on the list. We will try to do better, but inevitably we will fall back into our old bad habits. There are a few resources that will help.

First, if you put any place name followed by "OH" into the Google search box, you will often get a useful result. Wendy Park, for example, comes right up.

Second, there is a birding site guide on the Ohio Ornithological Website. Use the "Library" menu. <http://www.ohiobirds.org/site/library/sites/about.php>

Finally, you can try the Ebird hotspots. Many of the places will be found there.

Happy birding,
Paul

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Request for more site location
 

Hello --
I am new to the list, so those of you familiar with places and locations may know the site locations automatically.  It would be helpful for me (and maybe others) if nearby towns were mentioned as well in the posts.  
To list a park (Wendy Park?) or only county roads with nothing to reference them to, leaves me unable to look at a map to see if they are anywhere near me.  
Thanks very much for your help!
