Indira and I have been there twice so far and I am going there again in
May.For those wanting to go, a point to remember is that there aren't many
eating places near Magee Marsh...in fact there aren't any.......so plan things
well. If not, you may spend too much time birding and be too late to get to a
restaurant in time.Happy birding!!

Magee Marsh is amazing. You can be so close to the birds there. Additionally,
there are so many good natural areas when Magee Marsh gets overwhelming or too
crowded. The Lake Erie coast has a lot to offer. Definitely worth the trip.

We went twice last year. Once in mid-May and once in September. Gonna make the
trek again in a few weeks. It’s such a cool place, especially Maumee Bay. What
a beautiful landscape.

I was born and raised in the Magee Marsh area and it is wonderful to see so
many from Kentucky take an interest in this birding paradise. It is well worth
the trek there. FOS male hummer on the Azalea bush yesterday. Thanks.Fred

Yup, Magee Marsh is amazing. We spent a couple of days up there pre-covid and
were wowed. We were later informed that we were there on a couple of "off" days.
Hope to get back one of these years.

Thanks to John Pollpeter yesterday from the LBL Nature Ctr. Nice Warbler
numbers. Remember last year about this time bpb's one day trip down there and
20 plus Warblers in one day.
Sorry here at Browder where we have the habitat but never observed Warbler #s
no where close to LBL. Of course fun to read Steve K's MACA, Mammoth Cave,
Warbler lists, and the Schochoh reports by Steve T., plus Charlie's counts
south of the Ohio River west of Henderson....not to mention other KY locations.
Our best Warbler time has been two trips to Magee Marsh, east of Toledo, Ohio,
on the shores of Lake Erie...only a 7 hour drive from Browder up to there. The
observant birders see up to 31 plus warblers, many only 10-30 ft away, but for
that count one needs to observe from the first to last week of May, with the
well documented peaks being mid month. Some birders do stay there all month!!
There are the early, and the end of month arrivals of warblers. Our last trip
we had wonderful close views of a Kirkland hanging around a bush on the beach
off the main parking lot for two days. That was a crowd pleaser.
