eBird.

Knox County
Honey Run Highlands Park

Lucas County
Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area--Outer Dike
Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area--Bono Rd. Causeway
Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area--Bono Rd. and Cooley Canal
Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area--Woodlot
http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Metzger+Marsh+Wildlife+Area
We would like to begin to collect data at Metzger Marsh at a finer detail
that has been the case in the past. Do you not need to separate checklists
previously reported, but please begin to use the new hotspots for future
visits.
Morgan County
Wayne National Forest--Wildcat Hollow Trail (Morgan Co.)
http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Wildcat+Hollow+Trail
Ottawa County
We have changed the name of the general location for Ottawa National
Wildlife Refuge to
Ottawa NWR (historical, please do not use for current checklists)
This hotspot spot was set up to collect historical checklists which covered
the whole refuge and could not be sorted by county. The records, however,
are all assigned to Ottawa County. Please do not use this hotspot for
current checklists. If you have used it in the past you might want to
consider changing the location of your checklist(s) to more specific
locations.
Stark County
Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail--John Glenn Grove
