Lake Hope State Park & Zaleski State Forest are located 15 miles from
Nelsonville (Rte 33) off of Rte 278.

    I arrived at Zaleski State Forest on a ridge with a Shelter Woods &
Clear Cut at 5:30 am. The woods were alive with Birds singing. This went on
till 6:15 am. At that point the Birds quieted down a lot but there was
still a lot of Singing

   I also saw a lot of young!! Below is a list of some of the young I saw.
