Lake Hope State Park & Zaleski State Forest are located 15 miles from Nelsonville (Rte 33) off of Rte 278 At eBird Hotspots is a write up about these areas. There is information about certain areas to look for Birds. Also included is the 20 Breeding Warblers in these areas & their specific habitats I spent the early morning hours along a ridge in Zaleski State Forest. I arrived at 5:09 am. It was quit! At 5:25 am the Whip-poor-wills started singing. At 5:37 am the first songbird started singing (E Towhee) By 5:44 the woods were full of Bird songs. At 6:10 am it became quieter. There was a lot of birds still singing but nothing compared to 5:44 till 6:10 am. Below is a list of some of the young & observations I saw on this Cool July morning.
