Spring 2006 - Birding in Ohio

We spent the last week in April in southern Ohio, working our way to the Ohio Ornithological Society convention at the Shawnee National Forest. It was great fun to explore parts of the state where we had not been before. The second week in May, we were back at Magee Marsh and Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge - our usual haunt for International Migratory Bird Day. Here is a selection of images from those two weeks.

Here are a few images from the first trip to southern Ohio.
