Ohio birders have added several shared bird reporting hotspots to eBird. http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/ Clark County Pond at OH-334 and Middle Urbana Rd. http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Pond+at+OH-334+and+Middle+Urbana+Road The pond at OH-334 and Middle Urbana Road is on the property of First Christian Church. Parking is available in the church parking lot when there are not church activities. There is a walking path to the pond.

This state park is fairly compact and is entirely in Clark County. It has been well birded over the years by several birders who view birds on the C. J. Brown Reservoir from various vantage points and use the general hotspot to report these checklists. After discussion with these birders, we have moved the general hotspot for the state park out onto the reservoir. If you visit this state park and view birds from several locations, please use the general hotspot to report those checklists. We have added several hotspots which may be used when you are birding trails on the east or west sides of the reservoir. The “Northeast Lake Access” hotspot is located at a parking area off Grant Road. You may park there and walk to the northeast corner of the reservoir. This location can, in some years, have shorebird habitat during migration and is often a place where the lake first has open water in the early spring. Moorfield Rd. (view from roadside only) http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Moorefield+Road This hotspot, near Buck Creek State Park, was originally entered into eBird as a stakeout when a Western Meadowlark was seen here. It can be a good place to look for grassland birds and there is a small parking area near the intersection of Moorfield Road and Baldwin Lane. We have converted it to a regular eBird hotspot. The road traverses private land. Please bird from the roadside only. Osborn Rd.
