http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/wild_resourcessubhomepage/ WildlifeAreaMaps/NortheastOhioWildlifeAreaMaps/BeachCityWildlifeArea/ tabid/19924/Default.aspx Two brief (60min) forays here yielded: Bald Eagle Osprey Great Blue Heron Eastern Towhee Common Yellowthroat Eastern Phobe Brown Thrasher Yellow-breasted Chat Northern Flicker (Hairy / Downy?) Woodpecker Red-wing Blackbird Song Sparrow Chipping Sparrow Blue Bird If you have never been in what we call the "backwaters", enter by either Soehnien or Kaylor roads (see map). The area is a good mix of marsh, conifer / deciduous woodland and field. The Beach City Dam area is located directly off of 250. At the moment it is closed to traffic while they do extensive road work within. I'm really excited to return and spend some time here. There were a lot more birds around than I had the time to ID.
