Mentor Marsh: Spring Bird Walk

Join us on our Spring Bird Walks at Mentor Marsh to observe spring migration in our area.

Led by experienced birders from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the Blackbrook Audubon Society, these walks are part of the larger Cleveland Spring Bird Walk Series and are a great way to improve your birding skills. From beginning to advanced, all levels of birders are welcome!

Bird species will be tallied via the online resource eBird and can be shared with participants.

About the Spring Bird Walk Series

The Spring Bird Walk Series, now in its 93rd year, is one of the oldest community-science partnerships in Northeast Ohio. A collaboration among park systems, Audubon chapters, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and other organizations, it is a celebration of migratory birds, some of which breed in the many habitats of Northeast Ohio, while others use the habitats as stopover sites as they travel north to breeding areas.
