First visit to this site located off Tinker's Creek Road outside Independence, OH. There is a 1.5 mile Butterfly Trail with numerous and diverse butterflies present. I birded the trail. Based on trail conditions, it's not heavily walked on the second half of the trail past singpost #5. Most of the butterflies are present before signpost #4. Best birds seen were a Blackburnian Warbler and a Great Crested Flycatcher.
