Blendon Woods Metro Park is located in the northeast corner of Columbus
off of Rte 161 & I 270. Take the Little Turtle Way exit. Below is a list of
some of the Birds seen lately

     A good plan for Birding Blendon Woods is to start in the Nature Center
parking lot around 7:45 am. After about an hour,  the activity slows down a
bit. Next go to the Goldenrod Trail. After
        that go to the Lake Trail & Thoreau Lake. Then I would go to the
Woodland Trails (Hickory Ridge, Brookside, & Ripple Rock) The best time
Birding is between 7:45 am to 9:45 am.
