If this is not an appropriate posting for this list, my apologies, but I thought this might be a good source of good birding opportunities. In two weeks the Hocking Hills area is having their annual 24hr Photo Contest, which I participated in last year and was quite fun. Since that time I have been working on both my birding and photography skills. However I am not familiar enough with the following counties where the contest is being held, in regards to good birding locations, suitable for photography. The counties are Hocking, Fairfield, Athens and Vinton. Thanks for any information you might be willing to share and feel free to answer directly to me off list.
