Ohio birders have added several new shared bird reporting hotspots to eBird. http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+Ohio Greene County Gaunt Park http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Gaunt+Park Knox County Honey Run Highlands Park http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Honey+Run+Highlands+Park Lucas County Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area--Outer Dike Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area--Bono Rd. Causeway Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area--Bono Rd. and Cooley Canal Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area--Woodlot http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Metzger+Marsh+Wildlife+Area We would like to begin to collect data at Metzger Marsh at a finer detail that has been the case in the past. Do you not need to separate checklists previously reported, but please begin to use the new hotspots for future visits. Morgan County Wayne National Forest--Wildcat Hollow Trail (Morgan Co.) http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Wildcat+Hollow+Trail Ottawa County We have changed the name of the general location for Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge to Ottawa NWR (historical, please do not use for current checklists) This hotspot spot was set up to collect historical checklists which covered the whole refuge and could not be sorted by county. The records, however, are all assigned to Ottawa County. Please do not use this hotspot for current checklists. If you have used it in the past you might want to consider changing the location of your checklist(s) to more specific locations.
