And along the shore of Lake Erie sits one of the most famous birding sites in the world--the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area. Known as the \"warbler capital of the world,\" many thousands of birds stop along along their migration routes during the spring and fall. Ohio has many protected areas for birds including a National Park, three National Wildlife Refuges, and over 3.5 million acres of IBAs (Important Bird Areas). The Buckeye State is truly one of the best places to see birds year-round in the U.S.A. From geese to grosbeaks, owls to warblers, grouse to waxwings, Ohio is truly a birder's paradise.
