Migrant traps such as Magee Marsh Wildlife Area and Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area are located along the Mississippi flyway, making them excellent sites for observing and learning about waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds, and songbirds. Birds are so ubiquitous that they are often the entry point into nature study, and it helps to have a portable reference on hand to establish a solid foundation of knowledge about familiar species. You can do this with Ohio Birds, which features beautiful illustrations of 140 common bird species as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 birding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds fascinating lives.
