I was
Laura and those interested in birding opportunities in Wayne NF,
I was a field assistant in the Ironton district in the summer of 1992 to monitor and collect data among four study plots concerning the effects of forest fragmentation on breeding songbirds. We found over 160 nests of about 22 species of birds, including Ovenbird, Hooded Warbler, Cerulean Warbler, Acadian Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, Worm-eating Warbler (4 nests found, see bird at nest in flickr link below), Black-and-white Warbler (one nest with young photographed, in my photostream on flickr) and many others. One place I particularly enjoyed was Lake Vesuvius. As Tom said, you can get more up to date information at the Forest Service ranger station in Pedro. One word of caution: throughout that summer we made note of, and avoided, many, many yellow jacket and hornet nests in all of our study plots. There was one above ground yellow jacket nest near where the Worm-eating Warbler was photographed.

Subject: birding question for Wayne Nat. For.
We think we would like to try to do some birding in Wayne National Forest towards the end of this month but we don't really know anything about the area(s) that are best. I do know that the public areas of the forest are broken up. We are thinking in particular about the Ironton Unit since it is the furthermost southern area & would perhaps be most likely to hold spring migrants at that time. But we also need to do most of our birding from the car or on short jaunts. Does anyone have any suggestions for good birding spots?
Thanks for any help.
