When I worked at Crane Creek State Park I used to regularly bird EHSP in the fall. All the birds leaving Pelee to island hop are coming ashore in the area of Marblehead and Catawba. East Harbor has a lot of trails and areas to cover. The trails leading to the East Harbor boat entrance can be quite good under the right conditions. I have seen some huge songbird numbers there. And the sandspit adjacent to the entrance is good for gulls and shorebirds. The Marina at the end of Route 269 is good for late terns and swallows. The west harbor trail is another good one. The northwest corner of Middle Harbor dries up quick and can be good for shorebirds. This area is also good for migrating raptors. It is as good as anywhere in Ohio for goshawks when they are moving. I have also done well with saw-whet owls there. Be prepared for anything. I remember trying to identify a small group of birds in the top of a cottonwood. When they flew they were pipits!
