I received a few requests for directions and viewing advice for the Bexley
YCNH nest site, so I thought I should reply to the list.

For directions to 211 Preston Rd, see the "map" link at the top of the
ebird checklist below, which takes you to a google map you can use to get
directions. Also note the nearby side streets on the map, Dale Ave in
particular.

The nest is in a tall sycamore at 211 Preston, just south of and across the
street from Dale Ave. Best views are from just NORTH of Dale Ave or farther
south of the nest -- far enough from the nest that you can see on top of
it. A scope is useful, but not necessary.

The bird may roost elsewhere and if we're lucky enough to have them nest
here again this year,  they should be around for a few months! So no rush
;-)

I highly recommend viewing from your vehicle or a safe distance away so as
to minimize disturbing the bird(s).

Lastly, please respect the residents on Preston Rd and let them know why
you're there if they seem interested. Sharing a look through your optics,
and/or cracking open a field guide for  the locals is highly encouraged!
:-) Like it or not, you are an ambassador for the rest of us when you
interact with them as a birder. Might as well make the best of it ;-)

Good Birding,
Paul Hurtado
