Night explorations
Have you ever explored the outdoors at night? Not just because you are walking home in the dark but by sitting in your backyard or going to a local park and just watching the night come to life? First thing you may notice are little creatures that fly like birds dive bombing in the air, looking for their nightly meal. Soon you might hear the wooing of a nearby owl or catch a glimpse of an animal prowling the ground looking for its next meal. It’s amazing to see how much life there is at night when we are usually at home watching TV. I invite you to come out and explore nature at night this Friday night, Sept 23 from 7:30-9 at Carriage Hill MetroPark. We will be exploring the woods and keeping our eyes and ears open for what wildlife life may come out night.

The Lake Erie Birding Trail is Now Open!
Birding is growing in popularity all across the country, and there are an estimated 2.4 million birders in Ohio alone! Some people don’t realize that Ohio is actually one of the best places to go to see migrating birds in the spring and fall. Ohio, and specifically Lake Erie, falls right in the middle of the different flight patterns birds take when migrating, which is why lots of people will travel to Ohio during migration so they can get a glimpse of birds that are rare in many parts of the country, especially warblers. Because of this, the Ohio Division of Wildlife helped connect over 90 prime birding locations along Lake Erie in the Lake Erie Birding Trail. Similar projects have been very successful in Texas and Florida as well.
The Lake Erie Birding Trail grand opening took place at the Midwest Birding Symposium on Friday, September 16th. Check it out next time you are up in northern Ohio, or plan a trip up there to see how many new species you can find! It’s a great way to spend a weekend outdoors! If you need help planning your trip and which locations to visit, check out the website: http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/LakeErieBirdTrailIndex/tabid/21961/Default.aspx
Happy Birding!
