Palomar Audubon Birding Trip to Magee Marsh, Ohio May 11-15, 2025

Nestled along the southwestern shore of Lake Erie, Magee Marsh is renowned for its incredible variety of migratory birds, attracting observers from all over the world. The boardwalk offers a unique vantage point for spotting warblers, vireos, and other songbirds as they rest and refuel during their long journeys. With its serene natural beauty and the symphony of bird songs, Magee Marsh in spring becomes a haven for both seasoned bird watchers and newcomers alike, providing an unforgettable experience of nature’s splendor.

Palomar Audubon will be leading another trip to this area May 11-15, 2025.  You will have the opportunity to walk the boardwalk and a few other popular areas looking for the large variety of warblers during their migration north.  Steve Ellis and Steve Gabbert will be leading the walks on the boardwalk and surrounding areas.

We’ll fly to Detroit on the 11th where we will get rental cars, then drive to the hotel, stay 4 nights then return on the 15th.  Flights, rental cars, hotels, and food will be your responsibility.  However, we can coordinate who’s riding in which car based on flight arrival and departure times.  Let us know if you’d like to drive a rental car.  We’d recommend you attempt to contact other members to coordinate.

We’re staying at Sleep Inn and Suites, Oregon, Ohio   (419) 697-7800.  As of this writing, they have accommodations.  Sleep Inn and Suites will be the official meeting place each morning. The recommendation is to make reservations soon since this is the same week as the Biggest Week Bird Festival.  There are a dozen other hotels in the area if you can’t get reservations at Sleep Inn.

We are going to limit participants to 20 people.  Those who respond before Saturday, Feb.1st will be selected in a drawing if there is a significant number over 20 if not spaces available after that date will be filled on a first-come basis.
