Winter Walk at Blendon Woods

ByBill Heck February 13, 2022March 18, 2022

At 9:00 am on a cold, cloudy Saturday, an intrepid band of nine birders, led by Columbus Audubon board member Kori Gasaway, assembled at the Blendon Woods Metro Park nature center.

Early Spring Woodcock Walk Glacier Ridge

ByJames Muller March 5, 2021March 5, 2021

A group of seven birders braved a chilly March evening at Glacier Ridge Metro Park to welcome one of Ohio’s earliest return migrants, the American Woodcock! We found a spot at the edge of the fields around the windmill and watched flocks of blackbirds pass while waiting for their displays to start. Just 10 minutes after sundown,…
