Several new Ohio Birding Drives have been added to the Ohio eBird Hotspot web site this week. http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Ohio+Birding+Drives Birding drives are being developed for some of Ohio’s “under birded” areas, hoping to encourage birders to visit these counties when they are traveling in Ohio. There are 56 Ohio counties with fewer than 3000 eBird checklists submitted. Please let me know if you use any of these birding drive routes, especially if the directions lead you astray! Improvements and corrections are welcome. Here are the newest birding drives all in counties with fewer than 3000 eBird checklists submitted.
